The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> was selected to participate in the first cohort of the Excellence in Academic Advising comprehensive advising strategic planning process, which will establish the aspirational standards for institutions to evaluate and improve academic advising and acknowledge the central role of advising in promoting student learning, success and completion.<\/p>\n

The Excellence in Academic Advising program was created by National Academic Advising Association<\/a> (NACADA<\/abbr>): The Global Community for Academic Advising and the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This is a tremendous opportunity for us to improve the way we guide and work with our students here at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa,” said Ron Cambra<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Office of Undergraduate Education assistant vice chancellor.<\/p>\n

“Academic advisors play a key role in ensuring the success of our students,” he said. “We are excited to embark on the first-ever comprehensive evaluating and evidence-driven improvement of all facets of academic advising for undergraduate students at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa. The more we can improve in this area, the better the undergraduate experience for our students and the more satisfied they will be when they graduate and move on into their careers.”<\/p>\n

In the first year of the program, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa will partner with an Excellence in Academic Advising (EAA<\/abbr>) fellow, who will guide the school through an institution-wide, evidence-based decision-making, planning and implementation process to improve its academic advising efforts. Using EAA<\/abbr>\u2019s nine Conditions of Excellence in Academic Advising, the university will refine, validate and establish the standards or benchmarks to guide a reflective self-study and strategic assessment of academic advising.<\/p>\n

Leading the EAA<\/abbr> process at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa is Jennifer Brown<\/strong>, chair of the M\u0101noa Transfer Coordination Center<\/a>, and Stephanie Kraft-Terry<\/strong>, interim director of advising for the College of Natural Sciences<\/a>.
