MUH advising staff present at national conference

October 5, 2004

Members of Miami Hamilton's advising staff are presenting two programs at the National Academic Advising Association's conference in session during the first week of October. The first presentation, Adult Learners: Under Construction, outlines a three step model that the staff designed to help assess the needs of our adult learners at Hamilton. It also creates a curricular structure to better help them transition into the Miami system. This program was also selected by the NACADA commission to be one of five "sponsored sessions."

The second presentation, Intrusive Advising, explores the Hamilton Advising philosophy of a proactive look into student's academic background and intervening when necessary. This approach has been particularly successful when working with non-traditional and first generation students. Chris Klefeker, Shari Plunkett, Cheryl Hester and Joe Murray are the presenters. The conference is being held in Cincinnati.
