Uncovering new ways to help you do your job more effectively is vital to your growth…

One way to gain exposure to new ideas and insights is to attend conferences and workshops, which can offer valuable opportunities for interacting with other student advisors and administrators and fill you with new and actionable information.

Unfortunately, there is just one problem: budgets.

Because of super tight budgets today, colleges and universities increasingly have little or no flexibility for accommodating hotel, travel, and other expenses typically associated with professional development.

As a result, many student advisors are effectively tied to their campuses and consequently are missing out on opportunities to grow and improve their campus communities.

The good news is there is now a solution for overcoming this situation: The 2009 NCSL Advisors Online Conference CD/Transcript Package has been developed for those student advisors who could not attend the first and only one-day online conference designed to address the needs of student advisors! Learn about key topics and get actionable ideas to help you develop as a student advisor—Right From Your Campus!
