Departmental Representative
Purpose
The Advising Committee is responsible for determining advising strategies that holistically support students from onboarding through career placement. The Committee is responsible for establishing and coordinating best advising structures and practices at the department level. The committee serves to facilitate communication among faculty, staff, students, and administration on the practices, needs, and goals of holistic advising support.
Committee Composition and Operations
The Advising Committee has one voting faculty or staff member from each department. The committee also includes three students representing different backgrounds/experiences (new direct from high school/transfer, resident/non-resident, varied student identities, experiences, etc.) appointed by the Dean. All representatives serve potentially renewable one-year terms. Faculty and staff may serve on the Advising Committee for more than two consecutive terms provided they meet the other criterion specified for membership in other College committees. The Assistant Dean for Undergraduate and Graduate Student Success, and the Director of Career Services serve as ex-officio members. The Dean will appoint additional College Student Success staff as necessary as ex-officio members.
The committee Chair and Vice Chair are selected by the committee; the Vice Chair will normally serve as Chair the following year. The committee Chair (and/or a designee) represents the College on the ISU Undergraduate Academic Advising Committee (UAAC).
