The Bridge Team at LCCC
In short: we are a cross-campus team of people interested in, and concerned about, the quality of academic advising for our students.
Why we’re here today: we want to share with you what we’ve done and hear from other campuses, to give you ideas for instituting your own collaborative relationships.

What do we mean by “collaborative relationships”?•Collaborate = work together; bring
different perspectives, ideas and solutions to the table.
•How are faculty, student services, and administrators working together to address challenges related to academic advising? ▫Why is this even important?

History of our program•AQIP assessment model (formerly
PEAK/North Central)•Campus conversations in 2008 showed this
was the #1 topic of concern campus-wide • It became our first project in 2008•The Action Team recommended that a group
be created that fosters communication and sets/influences policy around advising…but no other guidelines (completed 2009)
•So here we are!

The Bridge Team
•How members were chosen and who currently sits on it
•Attended a NACADA Institute in 2010•Goals from that year
▫New faculty advisor training; in-service; marketing campaign; faculty survey; advisor award program.
•What has been accomplished so far▫…not as much as we’d like.

Where are we now?• Identifying the pitfalls; or, what we wish we’d
known then▫ We wish we’d had a clearer idea from “above” on what our
objectives were/should be.▫ We were under pressure initially to get going and offer
training rather than set mission/vision/goals…wish we’d done that first.
▫ We wish we’d had a better idea of our administrative support (or lack thereof).
▫ We would recommend that you never give up – keep moving forward, even if these obstacles seem immovable. Our group has decided we are committed to the betterment of advising on our campus, no matter what is happening externally.

Where are we now?
•Current projects we are working on▫Getting campus advisors trained on
eAdvising (record-keeping component of our student data system) and marketing its presence to students
▫Online resources for advisors and students▫Advisor training▫Survey students on their needs and
thoughts on areas of improvement around advising

Where are we now?
•Where we hope to go in the next year or two▫Not exactly sure…but we’re working on it!
•It could involve:▫ Proposing changes to our advising organizational
structure▫ Continuing to find ways to make the “hand-off” from
student services to instruction more seamless and understandable to students
▫ Creating a campus-wide advisor training program
