Join the Center for Teaching Excellence for this month's Reflective Practice Large Group Meeting. All faculty members are invited to attend.
In this session, April Belback will share findings from her dissertation, "The Relationship Between Academic Advising and Student Success Outcomes: A Retrospective Analysis of Research Universities." The study showed a significant relationship between academic advising organizational structure and student success outcomes for institutions improved with a shared model of advising. We will discuss the implications to consider, including collaborative efforts, faculty engagement, and shared resources and training.
April is the director of Undergraduate of Advising and Mentoring at the University of Pittsburgh and recently received her doctorate from IUP in the Administration and Leadership Studies program.
