Purpose and Goals
Purpose
We are committed to building community, sharing resources, and developing advising continuity for the benefit of students, advisors, and other stakeholders. As a group, we value:
- Centering equity in our work
- Centering care for all stakeholders and community members
This community building work is essential, regardless of how advising is organized or implemented across campus.
Goals
- Empower advisors to leverage campus resources to the benefit of their students and also to be efficient and supportive of advisors' time.
- Create awareness of the role and capacity and reality of advising services on campus.
- Foster community among advisors in order to share practices, information, and promote awareness of what’s going on.
