Show Me the Way: The Power of Advising in Community Colleges
With survey findings collected from over 130,000 community college students across more than 200 institutions, Show Me the Way: The Power of Advising in Community Colleges confirms that students who receive more advising—more time with advisors and more in-depth discussions in their sessions—are more engaged.
Executive Director Evelyn Waiwaiole and CCCSE staff facilitated a webinar on Show Me the Way on Tuesday, February 27. You can view a recording of the webinar.
The Center would like to recognize the support of The Kresge Foundation for generously funding focus groups about advising at three colleges, allowing us to hear directly from students and advisors about this essential service.
