Pondering the Foundations @NACADA

Seems I’m thinking, more and more lately, about the foundations and building blocks of what we do

About Art

I've been a higher education instructor and professional since 1999, having done such disparate things as lecturing on music history and jazz as well as directing advising offices and coordinating college placement programs. I have a background in exploratory student advising and have spent a great deal of time guiding students through contemplating their personal college-to-career pathways. I've published, presented, and consulted on the intersection of social media and academia and am a firm believer in social media's power as a tool for engagement rather than solely information delivery. I've worked at public and private institutions as well as 2-year colleges and 4-year universities. I believe in Academic Advising as a teaching and learning activity, that learner-centered education is the key to students' academic success, and that as long as we keep students' individual goals and success at the center of our decision-making process, the problem of college-level student attrition can be solved.
