Student Organization Advising with Confidence & Competence – On-Demand Training

Foster Growth, Open Dialogue, Shared Success, and Individual & Team Leadership Development

Your competence and confidence as an advisor are essential to the development of your students and student organizations. Create a solid framework for your – and your students’ – success that embraces personal strengths, addresses challenges, and encourages individual and team leadership development. Your student organizations – and you as a professional – will have the ability to flourish as a result. 

Prepare Now:

Whether you are a first-time advisor or a seasoned professional, it is imperative that you understand your impact and influence. COVID has required staff, faculty and administrators to support and engage with students in new ways – and to help them to engage within the campus community. It isn’t a question of do you influence, rather it is essential to understand what sort of influence you have. Ensure you create and foster an advisory approach that reflects your leadership style and promotes growth, open dialogue and shared success – and aligns with your institution’s mission.  

Our presenter will help you discover critical skills you need to improve the way you advise, mentor, and communicate to maximize today’s students’ success and increase the positive impact they have on campus life.
