Mark your calendars! The Academic Advising Association at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is excited to host its 6th Annual Academic Advising Association Conference. We hope you will join us on Tuesday, February 26, 2019, from 9:00am-3:30pm at Nebraska Innovation Campus.
With the landscape of higher education rapidly evolving due to shifting student demographics, technological advances, socio-economic challenges, and education policy reforms, the future of student services is uncertain. Because of this, our 2019 conference theme, “Envisioning the Future: Adapt, Inspire, Transform,” will motivate student affairs professionals to think strategically about the future of higher education and the impact these changes will have on our work. As student affairs professionals, we must be willing to advocate for change within the profession in order to effectively serve our students. To prepare ourselves for these impending changes, we must ask ourselves: What is, and what will be, the purpose of advising? How do we adapt our strategies and services to meet the needs of changing student demographics, especially in the face of technological innovations? How does the shifting economic landscape impact our role as student affairs professionals? What will the future of advising look like in five to ten years, and how can we prepare for the future? The purpose of this conference is to discuss and begin to envision responses to these questions.
Registration for the conference will open in early January 2019.
