Title: Student Advisement: A Collaborative Approach?
Descriptor: A presentation of survey and interview results of current practices across the state in collaborative student advisement. Local approaches to collaborative efforts between counseling faculty and other discipline faculty in providing academic advising to students will be discussed. This breakout is intended as a discussion of evolving practices in response to Fall 2011 Resolution 08.02. We have dinosaurs!
First step is Survey:
Introduction:
In Fall 2011, delegates passed Resolution 8.02 asking the Academic Senate to investigate existing programs in California community colleges in which counseling faculty train faculty hired in other discipline areas as faculty advisors. The Student Learning and Support Committee determined that a survey to gather information about which campuses have such programs would inform a Rostrum article or paper on this topic. Please take a second (really) to complete this very short survey.
Survey
Do faculty hired in disciplines other than counseling serve as faculty advisors? Yes/No
Do you have a program in which counseling faculty train faculty hired in other discipline areas as faculty advisors? Yes/No
If yes, how long has this program been in place?
If yes, would you be willing to be contacted by a committee member to discuss your program?
**Presenters Trulie Thompson, Shirley Flor, Miya Squires, John Stanskas

Title: The Student Success Act says ‘Jump!’ But who determines how high?
Description: This session will provide an introduction to the requirements of The Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act of 2012 (SB 1456), what campuses will be required to do, and by when. SB 1456 delineates all aspects of matriculation, including the requirements for a student education plan. Participants are invited to brainstorm strategies for addressing the requirements, building on effective practices and collaborations among various campus constituencies in support of student success.
