The Impact

The study described examined the scope of existing services for adult learners enrolled in higher education today. Two analyses were performed, one to review the effect of institutional type on services provided and the second to understand the impact of perceived administrative support on efforts to serve this student population. The implications of the findings for academic advisors are addressed.

Developmental Advising

Ten professional academic advisors were observed in advising sessions with 35 traditional-aged undergraduates to determine if advising styles are observable and if conceptual differences between prescriptive and developmental advising approaches are distinguishable. Individual advisors were found to use one of three styles and were not observed to vary their style among students. Findings challenge the assumption that prescriptive and developmental behaviors are used as distinct and contrasting approaches to advising.

Academic advisors serve a useful and necessary function in higher education. The nature of the academic advisor's role requires that he or she receive and transmit information concerning advisees. In fulfilling this role, an advisor is often defined by the legal concept of “agent.” This entitles the advisor to specific legal privilege, but it also holds the advisor accountable for actions taken within the scope of his or her employment. Acting beyond this scope could be grounds for personal liability rather than liability as an agent of the college or university. This article outlines the legal parameters that define the liability of an advisor for statements made in transmitting information to or about students.

The Way

This introduction to the strengths, needs, and challenges of veterans as they transition from the military to higher education is presented within the framework of Schlossberg's transition model (Schlossberg, Waters, & Goodman, 1995). Academic advisors must understand the way that veteran transitions to college are both similar to and different from those of the general student population so they can explore relevant topics and help connect student-veterans to appropriate supports and services that facilitate their personal and academic success. Advisors are given questions to employ in soliciting information about the ways they and their institutions can better serve student-veterans.

Practical Tool

The following ideas were adapted from a handout given by the Division of Undergraduate Studies at Penn State to its students, who more often than not have great concerns about their University education vis-a-vis the job market. Addressing students directly, it is intended as a practical tool for academic advisors at all institutions of higher education regardless of size or scope. Those who find the contents helpful for their advisers should feel free to use this feature, partially or in its entirely, and should feed free to structure it for local situations.

Life Roles

Studies have identified that women enter higher learning institutions for personal enrichment and lifelong education. In spite of these benefits, societal perception and traditional roles affect women’s participation in formal education. This qualitative study sought to explore the experiences of female students on how they deal with their lifecycle roles as they access higher education outside their home countries. The study was conducted in a Kenyan university using seven graduate international female students. These participants were purposively selected for face-to-face interviews. Content analysis was used to analyse data based on similarities and differences. It was revealed that the female faced challenges such as psychological stress, financial problems and time constraints. They managed these roles through support from family and friends as well as the use of self-motivation strategies. It was therefore recommended that interventions geared towards the needs of these female students are developed by institutions who admit international students.

And Training

The field of athletic advising has existed since the 1970s. In the early 1990s, the National Collegiate Athletic Association mandated that higher education institutions provide academic support for student-athletes. Few researchers have identified those serving as athletic advisors, so the literature features little data on advisor demographics, training, education, and work responsibilities. Therefore, the background and experiences of 277 members of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics, who responded to a survey, were explored. Specifically, athletic advisor educational and training background, burnout levels, meaning of the profession as participants describe it, advice for prospective advisors, and the knowledge they wish they had gained before entering the field are addressed. Dramaturgy was utilized as a framework for analyzing this research.
