Toward Equity: Inclusive and Equitable Advising for Student Success

Academic advising is an important part of the work faculty do at Smith. How can the institution best support faculty in their academic advisor role to ensure students thrive? How can faculty advance equitable and inclusive advising practices? What does integrative advising look like when we connect curricular and co-curricular opportunities? In this session, faculty will learn how to enhance academic advising from the first year to graduation and beyond, enable students to develop pathways through the curriculum, and build a bridge with career advising to better articulate how essential capacities become transferable skills. In partnership with the Class Deans Office and the Lazarus Center for Career Development.
