Best Practices in Online Academic Advising DeliveryLaura Pasquini
The Global Community for Academic Advising (NACADA) has identified the need to educate advisors on how to effectively implement technology into their practice. The NACADA Technology in Advising Commission continues to thrive to support new initiatives and tap into the advising needs for the profession. During the 2009 NACADA Winter Institute, the first hands-on, interactive NACADA Technology Seminar (Pasquini, Steele, Stoller & Thurmond, 2009) introduced participants to a conversation about technology in advising. NACADA continues to support online webinars to share expertise and resources throughout the United States, and across the globe. Other examples of online NACADA development and training initiatives can be found on commission group wikis, regional blogs, slide sharing websites, NACADA Facebook group page and daily on the NACADA Twitter stream.
Overall, a renewed emphasis for collaborative, online engagement in the higher education community is evolving to develop new forms of interaction and assessment. Participants will learn and share examples of online advising delivery being utilized in the advising practice. Session facilitators will share their experience advising with social networks, IM, web conferencing, podcasts, slidecasting, and other online resources. The growing use of social media and online tools, combined with collective intelligence and mass involvement, is gradually but deeply changing the practice of learning (The Horizon Report 2008). Electronic technologies can create a change in pedagogy for students, staff and faculty connected to the advising process. Advising units need to think about online advising development that includes increased participation, self-paced learning design, and continual assessment and feedback.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism.
