“As trends in higher education shift from the recruitment of
students towards retention, colleges and universities across the country are becoming more intentional about services and programming that will not only aid in their ability to keep students on campuses, but will assist with the
student’s ability to accomplish their goals. It is here that the role of academic advising and the value of relationships become elevated.”

“…an advisor is uniquely positioned to develop a personal relationship with students and to serve as a humanizing agent—someone whom students feel comfortable seeking
out, who knows them by name…”
