“…Its preeminent status has been challenged, however, by the development of new theories that reflect contemporary changes in higher education, as well as the characteristics of the millennial student. These contemporary approaches to academic advising include, but are not limited to, the model for advising Latino/a students of Negroni-Rodr<guez et al, 5 Kadar's 6 counseling liaison model, and Aune's 7 application of the interaction model of disability to academic advising. Although it is not feasible to discuss each of these theories in detail, it is instructive to examine at least one of them to understand better contemporary approaches to academic advising.…”

The purpose of academic advising is to guide students in developing educational goals that will enable them to achieve their life aspirations. Given its importance, academic advising has received little attention in nursing literature. The author traces the history of academic advising, identifies the roles and characteristics of an effective advisor, and suggests a course of action that will enable faculty to improve their advising.

“…8 The positive effects of role modeling and the importance of developing students' trust used in Schultz's framework are incorporated by many other contemporary advising theories. 5,7,9,10 Before applying any of these models, however, it is important to consider first the characteristics and roles of the effective academic advisor.…”

“…Participation in university-sponsored Latino/a student organizations provides a vehicle for students to have their first exposure to the work of community leaders (Davis, 1997). In sum, scholars propose that more focus should be on the strengths of students, their families, and their communities in a culturally appropriate and effective manner (Ballesteros, 2007;Bordas, 2001;Davis, 1997;Molloy & Elis, 2006;Negroni-Rodriguez, Dicks, & Morales, 2006;Oliva, 2008;Ramirez, 2006).…”

A primary goal of the social work profession is social justice advocacy for disenfranchised and oppressed communities such as the Latino community. In the context of this paper, leadership development for community emancipation relates to efforts that foster indigenous community leadership designed to procure political rights or equality for their disenfranchised or devalued populations. The paper reviews the literature on Latino/a leadership perspectives, leadership development trends, and best practices that serve as a compatible integrative Latino/a approach. The approach proposes that the process of Latino/a leadership development should be collective, culturally attuned, transformative, and community emancipatory. The authors present a model for students, alumni, and faculty that incorporates the approach through the use of three components:(1) Sustained institutional commitment, support, and resources; (2) Creation of leadership opportunities, mentoring, and modeling; and (3) Leadership efforts that foster community emancipation. The approach has been successfully employed for over 30 years in a Latino Project at a New England School of Social Work. Discussion of the model's components, a case scenario, considerations for replication of the approach, and future research will be offered.

“…Numerous researchers have indicated that academic advising plays a pivotal role in student retention, personal development, and academic success (e.g., Hunter & White, 2004;Shelton, 2003;Young-Jones, Burt, Dixon, & Hawthorne, 2013). Advisors' skills in interpersonal relationships and intercultural communication comprise a critical component of quality advising (Cornett-DeVito & Reeves, 1999;Negronirodríguez, Dicks, & Morales, 2006;Zhang, 2015Zhang, , 2016. These skills take on increased importance when academic advisors interact with students who come from different cultural backgrounds, speak nonnative languages, or transfer from overseas educational systems.…”

In recent years, an increasing number of international students have enrolled in engineering programs in U.S. colleges and universities. These students often encounter challenges, and academic advisors play a significant role in international students' academic success. Using a model of intercultural communication competence, we explored attitudes toward and understanding of cultural differences among academic advisors in a college of engineering at a 4-year research university. We also investigated advisors' knowledge of and skills in conducting intercultural communication with international students. The findings shed light on advising international students in engineering programs, and we provide recommendations for academic advisors on conducting effective communication with students from diverse cultural backgrounds.
