Subject: [UPAC] The webinar is a go!

 

 

Contrary to popular myth, advisors are not all on vacation this week, or
next!  I appreciate the many affirmative responses to the idea of the
webinar on Appreciative Advising next Tuesday, July 8th at 10:00.  Please
join us next Tuesday, at 10:00 in Career Services.  BTW, since we are
getting the Independence Day Savings discount I can also purchase the DVD.
Those advisors who happen to miss the live webinar can check the DVD at
their convenience.

 

With that - Happy 4th of July (a bit early)!

 

Once again, the webinar announcement:

 

Appreciative Advising (AA) is one of the most powerful educational trends to
sweep across college campuses in decades.

 

First proposed by Jennifer Bloom a little over a decade ago, this advisement
policy has been employed by colleges across the Southeast with revolutionary
results.

 

Based upon the organizational development theory of Appreciative Inquiry and
Positive Psychology literature, Appreciative Advising provides a flexible
framework for professionals to optimize student success.

 

Students are retained one student at a time and it is crucial that
administrators, staff, and faculty partner together to optimize student
learning experiences. Appreciative Advising gives educators and
paraprofessionals the tools to do just that.

 

During this webinar "
