Webinar: Academic Advising and Student Support from a Distance: 6 Higher Ed Leaders Discuss Their Approach

Please join us for the webinar Academic Advising and Student Support from a Distance on Thursday, April 2, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm Eastern (11:00am – 12:00pm Pacific).

Recent events have pushed virtually all of higher education to move their programs online–including colleges who hadn’t planned on making that move for quite some time. This rapid shift to remote learning has highlighted some of the distinct advantages of online programs, but it has also created new challenges for those who provide advising and offer student support services. Career and program exploration, resume building and employer engagement: what do these processes look like in a virtual setting? 

During this webinar, you’ll join a panel of six higher education leaders from across the country as they share and discuss their ideas and approaches to these and other issues.

Of course, we know that this is an unusually busy time, and it’s not clear when “normal” will resume. No problem. The webinar will be recorded and a link to the full presentation will be sent to all registrants, even if you can’t make the live event.
