Find People | Libraries | NEWS | CALENDAR | MyPack POrtal | GIVING | Campus Map The Advisor Development Institute offers faculty and staff a chance to participate and demonstrate their commitment to teaching and advising at NC State University. This professional development opportunity has evolved from a single advisor training workshop to a comprehensive program that actively engages faculty in developmental advising.
The program is designed for NC State University faculty and staff. Workshops are conducted throughout the academic year focusing on a single component of effective advising and providing advisors with an opportunity to assess their effectiveness as an advisor. The institute is designed in such a way that all workshops could be completed within a one year time frame. However, should a participant need two years to complete the program, this can be accommodated.
Advisor training is the foundation of any advising program. In Academic Advising: A Comprehensive Handbook (2000), Margaret C. King, former NACADA president, recommends that advisor training should address three areas:
• Conceptual: What concepts such as developmental advising do advisors need to know?
• Informational: What do advisors need to know about in-house programs and policies?
• Relational: What skills do advisors need to relate effectively with their advisees?
NC State's Advisor Development Institute includes these areas as core components of the workshop series.
The Advisor Development Institute is sponsored by Academic Advising Services (Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs); however, workshop facilitators are represented across campus in both Academic Affairs and Student Affairs.
All participants who complete the Institute will be recognized at an awards ceremony, which has occurred every December since 2008.
The Advisor Development Institute is just one of many advising support efforts provided by Academic Advising Services
Academic advising is an educational process that, by intention and design, facilitates students’ understanding of the meaning and purpose of higher education, and fosters their intellectual and personal development toward academic success and lifelong learning.
