Collaboration between advisers, instructors holds key to student success: Opinion

Academic advisers should seek to collaborate more with faculty members in order to support student success, writes Jennifer Arin, as instructors’ perspectives can be key to a full understanding of student issues. Arin argues that discussing student issues with the instructor can lead to productive conversations about changes students can make to see success. “If we are serious about student success — and about advising as a key way to achieve it — then academic counselors and faculty members must engage with one another about our students early and often,” writes Arin.
