New and not-so-new advisers are invited to attend this session by NorCal faculty president Tara Cuslidge-Staiano, who is putting together a handbook to guide those new to this complicated but rewarding profession. We'll start by asking seasoned advisers about the best advice they ever received, and then move into challenges for new advisers. The information will help inform a JACC New Adviser handbook in development. Come ready to talk about successes and failures as we've navigated these roles (usually as the only one of us on our campuses!).
