South Plains College will be hosting a Faculty Advising Institution in May 2022.
We know that academic advising is key to any student’s success in college. We also know that academic advisors, especially faculty serving double duty, don’t get enough training or credit. South Plains College aims to change this by educating faculty academic advisors on the importance of academic advising in the STEM fields. Just a simple visit to the office can make a far-reaching difference in the realization of college endeavors.
Faculty STEM Advising Institute
Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, South Plains College is hosting a Faculty STEM Advising Institute. This XX day institute will offer insights on how to:
- Help monitor students’ academic progress.
- Offer students a better connection with the faculty and administrators.
- Give students the ability to navigate the university policies and procedures better.
- Assist students in selecting, changing, adding, or canceling classes with an understanding
of the online platform and institutional offerings.
