  16. Key Points • Limited time/contact with students • Doing well providing “basic” information to students • Need to reach students in different ways • Need to keep advisors informed • Need for additional advisor professional development • Need for “central hub” for information on UWM website • Not always experiences to match expectations

  17. Ideas for Future • Address advisor caseloads • Explore new ways to contact students (Facebook, IM, blogs, etc.) • Easy to find web page devoted to links to common policies, procedures, campus-wide student services, etc. • Continue to rollout advisement reports for students on PAWS • Establish a working group of advisors for next PAWS upgrade • Re-focus purpose of Advisors and Counselors Network (ACN) • Continuous and formalized sharing of best practices between advising offices • Use First Year Center as launching point for “University 101” seminar for students • ???
