This chapter examines the concerns and challenges that most college millennials face in today's technology-savvy society. Existing research indicates that college students are having interactions both inside and outside of their respective campus environs that are influencing their civic-mindedness and shaping their engagement in civic action. The role of faculty is to assist students' understanding and reflecting upon their civic engagement and how to document and share their contributions, plans and questions with others and themselves. Faculty instructors are transparent with their students around their own approaches and challenges in the area of civic engagement. As a result, students learn strategies and approaches that may be useful after they finish their first year of college and plan for continued engagement over their time in college and beyond.

Developmental Academic Advising

Many academic support programs promote the academic success of first-year students, and research has shown the importance of effective academic advising to first-year student retention. Among the numerous approaches to academic advising, the strategy used by advisors at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) remains relatively unknown. This quantitative study is based on the most prevalent academic advising approach used at a HBCU in South Carolina. A well-documented survey was administered to 77 first-year students attending this institution to measure their experiences with prescriptive and developmental advising and their satisfaction with these advising approaches. The results showed that the most prevalent advising approach was developmental advising, and students were satisfied with aspects of both strategies.

The Many

The stages associated with the process of organizational socialization have clear relevance to academic advising. Through the information presented, advisors can gain a better understanding of organizational socialization. They can use this information to assist students experiencing the many changes they face as they move from exploring colleges through their first year of college life. We show how awareness of the events associated with three stages of socialization—anticipatory socialization, encounter, and metamorphosis—can assist advisors as they help students succeed in their new surroundings.

STUDENT PRIORITIES FOR ACADEMIC ADVISING

Advising Relationship

Student priority ratings for personal developmental advising activities are compared with instructive prescriptive advising activities. Results indicate that students prefer prescriptive advising activities to developmental advising activities. However, review of the ratings for each advising activity reveals that students prefer a combination of these two advising roles, and it further suggests that there are limits to the degree f personal involvement desired. While student ratings do support the dual role of advising, i.e., offering academic guidance within an individualized/personal relationship, advisors who are attracted to the developmental model of advising are cautioned to consider carefully how much personal counseling a student may desire. Suggestions for further research are also offered to determine which students prefer which type of advising relationship at what point in their academic development.
