Advising Strategic Plan

Program Status: Implementation

Following the 2023 NACADA recommendations, Undergraduate Academic Advising (UAA) is undergoing a strategic planning process that will align with the mission and vision of UAA with the PSU Strategic Plan and the Embracing our Majority BIPOC Future framework. The goal of the UAA strategic plan is to create a cohesive and collective vision for academic advising at PSU. The Advising Strategic Plan will center the needs of our current and future PSU students to ensure their success; improve the experience of advisors and advising leadership resulting in a collaborative and positive work environment and culture; and operationalize recommendations from the external assessment by NACADA and internal assessment group.
