Join Advisor Forum meeting on Thursday, Sept. 5
This semester, the Advisor Forum is trying a new format for its meetings. The first meeting of the fall semester is Thursday, Sept. 5. The meetings will be a hybrid format with both in person and online options. Our presenters will all be on Zoom to more easily facilitate their presentations. We will have 2-3 speakers for the first hour of time and then the remaining half an hour will be reserved for discussion.
Based on feedback, there is a need for advisors to have discussions about things that are going well and things that are not going well in their worlds.
Amanda DeBlauw will lead the online conversation via Zoom, and Beth Stuewe will lead the in-person conversation in Room 407 of Hale Library. If you are on campus, we highly recommend you come to the in-person meeting location for a robust discussion following the meeting. This is our chance to share our thoughts and concerns not only with topics shared during the meeting but also with other problems you have encountered.
Please reach out to Beth Stuewe, bas9995@k-state.edu, or Amanda DeBlauw, adeblauw@k-state.edu, if you have questions.
