Hello ACAA Members,
The Professional Development Committee is excited to announce the first event in our forthcoming series “Practice to Presentation.” The series is designed to help advisors turn their advising practice and experience into something they can share at a regional or national advising conference. The series will culminate in an advising conference at UO for folks to:
- Share their advising knowledge
- Learn new advising processes and approaches
- Connect with other advisors on campus
- Practice presenting their research in a safe and welcoming space
Our first event, “Turning Advising Practice into Shareable Knowledge” will be held on March 13th from 9:00 -11:00 am in Tykeson Commons.
Breakfast will be included, and seats are limited to 40, so please RSVP by Feb 14 via this link.
In our winter workshop, we’ll reflect on our advising practices, brainstorm potential research questions, and collaborate on presentation projects. We will also discuss what “research” means in a professional advising context. No experience or familiarity with research, advising or otherwise, is required or expected!
We hope to see you there!
The ACAA is thrilled to announce the 3rd year of professional development scholarship availability, sponsored by the Undergraduate Education and Student Success. This scholarship program provides financial support to attend advising-related professional development opportunities, upholding a primary goal of the Association—promoting the highest quality of academic advising at the University of Oregon.
