One of the greatest challenges in higher education is helping students to achieve academic success while ensuring that their personal and vocational needs are fulfilled.

More than thirty experts offer their knowledge and advice in this comprehensive reference. They explore all the critical aspects of academic advising and provide rich insights for faculty and full-time advisors, counselors, and those who are responsible for the administration or coordination of advising services. Topics include: The history and philosophy of academic advising The influence of theory in contemporary practice Ethical considerations and legal obligations Advising multicultural students and students with special needs Integrating advising with career and life planning Advising students one-to-one and in groups Organizational models for effective advising Technological resources that support advising Strategies for training and evaluating advisors Anticipating and adapting to changes in academic advising No advising professional should be without the wisdom in this extensive handbook.

"This long overdue work succeeds in gathering under one cover the written thoughts of the very best minds in academic advising over the past twenty-five years. Its authors provide a powerful blAnding and balancing of both theory and practice. From novices to veterans, this handbook is the new bible for professional academic advisors." --John N. Gardner, senior fellow, National Resource Center on the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, University of South Carolina, Columbia "It is indeed my pleasure to Andorse Academic Advising. This handbook provides advisors with one of the most comprehensive overviews of key concepts in academic advising by many of the best-known experts in advising. It is an absolute must for every advisor's professional collection!" --Manuel Ramos, president, National Academic Advising Association "Academic advising represents a fundamental and integral part of the student experience and the mission of higher education. Therefore, it is with deep respect for the profession and with a strong belief that this collection of essays will provide a valuable tool for advisors and all others interested in the history and future of advising. This handbook is a must for your professional reading list." --Martha M. Garland, vice-provost and dean for undergraduate studies, The Ohio State University "A great contribution to academic advising literature, Academic Advising explores various approaches and pedagogical models of advising. It is a very readable and informative resource for academic advisors." --Robert E. Glennen, president emeritus, Emporia State University, New Mexico

Update! Seller acknowledged the discrepancy in the mailing procedure and made it alright. Feel free to order books from them based on their new knowledge of how to ship hardback books with protective packaging. Thanks to the seller for being forthright in making amends. This is an honest and above board seller.

  • Excellent for post graduate students getting a Master Degree in Career Counseling

    This book is quite extensive and very helpful in learning about how to advise students, adults and others in choosing a career. Many do not know what career they want to go into and this book helps to clarify for the individual what a good career choice would be. Highly recommend.
