Honors advising

Honors advisors often encounter similar challenges working with the unique population of honors students. Through the advising process, we are able to help students reach their academic goals and realize their full potential. Students from community college honors programs to large university honors colleges alike must overcome a variety of academic and personal challenges. This session will provide opportunities to collaborate and discuss the best practices for addressing some of the common issues (as well as those unique to each type of program or college) that students face acclimating to college life and participating in honors, such as developing independence, selecting a major, completing a thesis, and much more. This session will create a best practices tool bag for the most common challenges an honors advisor will face.
