Practical Tips for Connecting with Advisees

Make your presence known
  • Maintain an email list of advisees for easy communication
  • Introduce yourself at the beginning of the semester
  • Announce when it’s time to meet to plan for next semester
  • Communication and uphold your office hours, availability, and contact preferences
Prepare for their arrival
  • Show up and be on time for advising appointments
  • Figure out an organizational system that works for you. Stick to it.
  • Know the general purpose of the meeting (picking out classes, discussing transferring, etc.).
  • Print and review relevant materials in advance (plans of study, transcripts, forms, etc.).
Rock the meeting
  • Be excited to see them.
  • Present an organized, knowledgeable, and friendly persona.
  • Demonstrate good habits. Take notes. Identify questions and how to get answers.
  • Be genuine. Admit what you don’t know. Don’t make stuff up. Ask for help.
  • Put them at ease. Be calm. Be patient. Be helpful. Move at their pace. Don’t overwhelm.
  • Keep a comfortable office environment.
  • Acknowledge them as people. Use their name. Talk about more than classes.
  • Ask: “How are you?” “What’s going on?” “How did that go?” “How do you feel about that?” “What do you think?” “Why do you think that is?” “What else…?”
  • Be present. Respect their time and attention.
  • Clarify next actions for both of you.
