New Academic Advising Tools Prepare Students for Success
February 24, 2016
Mentoring and discipleship, core to the APU experience, give depth and purpose to every aspect of education—classroom dialogues, athletic contests, student life, spiritual encounters, and even academic advising. Tracie Burt, Ed.D., director of undergraduate student success, and her team in the Office of Academic Advising and Retention believe that these critical advising sessions can encompass more than mere course selection and present an ideal opportunity for connecting with students on a much deeper level. To facilitate that, the office recently created a set of checklists to guide conversations beyond course requirements, equipping every student and advisor with a comprehensive view of the resources, goals, and opportunities available to help students thrive in college.
