Increasing Opportunity through Student-Centered Advising
This is part of the AIFS Abroad Summer E-learning Advisor Toolkit Series.
This session explores how student-centered advising strategies can expand access to study abroad opportunities for all student populations. We will address common challenges students face throughout the study abroad process—including financial barriers, lack of awareness, academic or familial concerns. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the decision-making factors most important to students, as well as tailoring advising strategies to the individual. Finally, we will discuss how strategic partnerships—across departments, with faculty, and external providers—can play a crucial role in removing barriers and fostering inclusive, accessible global learning experiences.
Led by Neal McKinney, Karl Jacobs, Katie Sabo U Arkansas
What to Expect?
Your time is precious (ours is, too!) We’ve taken the traditional webinar concept and reframed it. Here’s what to expect in our E-learning series:
Connections to colleagues. Meet not only AIFS Abroad staff but others in the AIFS Abroad network, and find support where and when you need it.
20-30 minutes of content from knowledgeable AIFS Abroad staff and colleagues
Dedicated time for Q&A
Recordings available to all registrants, by email and posted to the Advisor Portal for access in the future
Topics that matter. Professional development hours and dollars can be hard to come by, and we’re focusing these short sessions on maximizing time and knowledge
