"My Advisor Told Me . . .": Collaborative Academic Advising
What makes a good advisor? What expectations do you have of yourself as an advisor, and what expectations do you have of your advisees? In this discussion we will share some of the expectations we have of ourselves and of our advisees, and invite you to do so as well. One way to make this exercise more concrete is to provide a few plausible scenarios that describe a variety of advisor/advisee interactions. Please come prepared for an open discussion about constructive responses to questions or issues raised by our advisees. Feel free to bring a scenario of your own! Participant Preparation Expectations: We invite participants to read "An Alternative to the Development Theory of Advising by Marc Lowenstein (http://dus.psu.edu/mentor/odl/articles/991122ml.htm), in which he discusses a vision of advising that focuses on issues that are unique to college and facilitates the goals of a liberal arts education (engagement with ideas, interdisciplinarity, intellectual reflection, and lifelong learning).
