Description

Besides arranging schedules, registering students, and notifying that X course has a prerequisite, what is it like to be an academic advisor?

While you think deeply about the answers, we will leave you with some hints:

Being an academic advisor is not just a position. It is a mission.

It is about being powerful enough to change the life of each advisee with your brilliant ideas.

It is about guiding them through their ‘academic storms’ with care.

It is about leaving an impact with the valuable experience you share with them.

It is about being there when their life is overwhelming.

It is about accepting and loving them for who they are.

It is about appreciating whomever they decide to be.

It is about helping them grow beyond what they expected for themselves.

What does it feel like to be an academic advisor? What obstacles do advisors face? How can you overcome the difficulties? How to work on your mental health to be able to inspire and help? How to deal with each student according to his/her personality, character, ambitions, hardships, and needs? How can you make your advising experience more meaningful?
