The increase in diverse student populations and the growing
complexity of higher education have made academic advising a
critical component of student success. This comprehensive
professional reference overviews academic advising as a function
and a process. Practitioners will find much valuable information on
the intricacies of student advising, and administrators will find a
thorough treatment of the functions necessary for the effective
delivery of this important service. The handbook gives special
attention to the needs of particular student populations and offers
considerable coverage of academic advising as a profession. The
book begins with a thoughtful glance at the history and development
of advising. It then turns to some of the significant
administrative matters related to the successful delivery of this
service. The following chapter considers the essential skills and
materials needed by academic advisers of all types. Because of the
importance of college as preparation for a vocation, a chapter
explores the link between career counseling and other forms of
advising. A lengthy discussion of the needs of disabled students,
adult students, and other special populations follows, along with a
look at the needs of specific racial and ethnic groups. The closing
chapters treat important professional issues, including evaluation
and professional development. Counselors, administrators, and all
those involved in the academic advisory process will find this book
a much needed reference tool.
