50 academic advisors attending conference
April 23, 2013
More than 50 UAF faculty and staff advisors will attend the National Academic Advising
Association (NACADA) Region 8 conference from April 29 - May 1 in Anchorage. Thanks
to the generous support from UAF's Office of the Provost and Vice Provost & Accreditation
Liaison Officer, University of Alaska Student and Enrollment Services Office, and
the Alaska Railroad Corporation, staff and faculty advisors who typically would not
have the funding to attend the conference are able to go and beef up their academic
advising knowledge and skills. UA President Patrick Gamble will be the keynote speaker.
The conference theme is Building Communities that Lift Students to Success and the
academic advisors will learn valuable information that will directly help students
make progress towards their degree. This is the first time the regional conference
has been held in Alaska.
