Three Trends in Student Advising
This document summarizes three trends in student advising: 1) A holistic approach focusing on coaching students and empowering their choices. Advisers are developing distinct competencies and shifting administrative tasks to others. 2) A proactive approach using predictive analytics and early alerts to coordinate responses. Data must be presented sensitively. 3) A balanced approach to data use, both qualitative and quantitative, to set milestones and analyze progress toward clearly defined student success in human terms. Success requires collaboration across departments.
