Tracey Hammell, academic adviser in CEHD Student Services, presented this month at the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) Region 6 Conference in Fargo. Hammell’s presentation, Times are a Changin’:  What could the future of academic advising look like?, discussed integrative learning theory. The theory suggests a framework that could allow advisers to be active participants in shaping and redefining the role of advising on campus. By applying integrative learning theory and tracking the developmental changes a student experiences throughout their program, the advising community could provide new ways to assess the effectiveness of the advising system.
