It is structured to introduce new advisers to concepts of advising and to update experienced advisers as Penn State changes. The Center is intended as a way to help faculty to learn about advising at Penn State. It cannot, however, replace conversation with colleagues or experience with students. Penn State students believe advising to be one of the most important activities in their academic lives. Students come to know Penn State better and learn to explore all possible options, becoming accomplished learners.
Advisers take satisfaction in the intellectual and personal growth of their advisees.
The University fosters students who participate in our teaching, learning, advising, and research activities and who will become productive, loyal graduates. While much of the Center is on-line, adviser development programs are also available. Contact the DUS Programs Coordinator at your campus or college if you would like to discuss an advising development activity. Eric R. White, Ed.
