Title:Moving into students' spaces: The impact of academic advising on student engagement among undecided students
Source:http://inpathways.net/moving into students' spa...
Date:2008
Organization:
Short Description:University stakeholders recognize the importance of exposing all students to academic advising as a means to enhance their engagement with the institution. Living-learning communities are of particular promise.
Annotation:University stakeholders recognize the importance of exposing all students to academic advising as a means to enhance their engagement with the institution. Living-learning communities are of particular promise. In this study, conducted at a midwestern land grant university in the 2A04-05 academic year advisees in living-learning communities reported significantly higher engagement in their educational experiences than advisees with access only to a central advising office, and the differences in levels of engagement with advisors were significant as other predictors of engagement were taken into account.
