51勛圖厙 Recognized for Innovative Advising Program
51勛圖厙 recently was recognized for its efforts to provide academic advising to 51勛圖厙 in on-campus parking garages. (UAS) received the Most Innovative Programming Award at the (FLACADA) annual conference, hosted by Florida A & M University.
Get Wise: Advising on the Go was launched in spring 2015 in an effort to target commuter 51勛圖厙 and working 51勛圖厙 who take evening classes when 51勛圖厙 offices are closed. About 83 percent of the 21,000 51勛圖厙 on the Boca Raton campus are commuters. Academic advisers are stationed in Garages 1 and 2 between 5 and 7 p.m. to talk with 51勛圖厙, answer questions and to partner them with their assigned academic advisors. In fall 2016, advisers spoke with nearly 400 51勛圖厙 in the parking garages.
This program is truly an example of meeting 51勛圖厙 where they are, said Angel Nevin, assistant director of UAS. By connecting 51勛圖厙 to an academic adviser, we are encouraging and fostering student involvement and engagement, which has been shown to increase retention.
