Advisers are some of the first staff members that students meet on campus — and some of the last to get the support they need. Burdened by heavy caseloads, low pay, and limited professional development, advising teams struggle with staff burnout and high turnover rates. These circumstances have real consequences for student success.

With student retention key to institutions’ enrollment and financial strategies, good advising has become more critical than ever. Good advising goes beyond course registration and scheduling. It provides personalized coaching. It fosters a sense of belonging on campus. And it helps students navigate academic, mental health, and financial challenges that may disrupt their college journey.

So what does it take to support good advising? How can institutions build systems that help advisers (and students) thrive?
