Synopsis

The second edition of Academic Advising Administration: Essential Knowledge and Skills for the 21st Century examines the evolving boundary-crossing role of the advising administrator in an increasingly complex and diversified higher education environment.

Written by scholar-practitioners in the field, chapters situate advising administration as a central and critical function that connects the curriculum and scholarship work of faculty members with the aspirations and goals of students. Through scholarly and practical content, combined with reflective questions, chapters challenge readers to examine the work of advising administration through the lenses of social justice, globalization, and the nature of the academy itself. The portrait of the advising administrator being developed in this second edition is that of a skilled practitioner; visionary and transformative leader; intellectual partner and collaborator; and academic advising "scholar-in-chief."

Intended equally for aspiring, new, and seasoned advising administrators, this book presents theories, scholarship, and practical applications that offer opportunities for personal and professional growth, self-reflection, and inspiration.
