The 2008 Spring Advising Conference

Linking Advising to Teaching, Learning and Scholarship


DVDs of the keynote and concurrent sessions are
available for check-out from the CELT Library.

Keynote: Linking Advising to Teaching, Learning and Scholarship - presented by Dr. Marc Lowenstein, Dean of Professional Studies, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey

Lowenstein explains the role the excellent advisor plays with respect to a student's entire curriculum as analogous to the role that the excellent teacher plays with respect to the content of a single course. The advisor helps the student create the logic of the student's curriculum such that the advisor assumes a central role in enhancing a student's education. He helps us define advising, points out how we can use advising to implement IPFW's Baccalaureate Framework, and connects this activity to scholarship.

Coming soon: streamed video of the keynote presentation.
