Appreciative Advising Webinar

Presenters will provide a refresher on the Appreciative Advising Theory-to-Practice Framework and application as a model for cultivating effective relationships with students to help them thrive–whether you are gearing up for orientation season or preparing to meet students virtually or in-person during the academic year. They will highlight the important role professional and faculty advisors play–through your conversations and interactions with students–to help students foster a psychological sense of community, which is the engine that drives student thriving.

During this interactive and engaging session, they will share appreciative approaches for connecting with students. They also will invite participants to share their experiences and ideas and co-design strategies with one another.
