Thorough training of the adjunct advisor as an ambassador of the college is imperative. The advisor serves as a liaison between the student and the college. Butler's one credit hour course in career planning is just that. Students enroll in the 18 clock hour course to learn about how they learn, discover their assets and deficiencies, develop study habits, learn to manage stress, explore careers, develop awareness of degree requirements, and go over college policies. Student Seminars Adjunct advisors are expected to help prepare and present at least one seminar for outreach students during the year in areas such as adult re-entry, career planning, or job placement.
Advisors work in small groups to develop the seminars using their individual expertise.
Developmental study programs prepare students on an individual basis for specific areas of deficiency such as writing, vocabulary, spelling, and geometry. Peer Tutoring Students in need of a tutor may contact any advisor and request help. Peer tutors are students who are assigned other students who need their expertise for specific competency improvement. Tutors are available for most courses. The Adult and Community Education Division is working diligently to meet the needs of the adult learner.
