The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) selected Dickinson State University (DSU) professional advisors Samantha Wohletz and Kayla Noah to present their topic “Creating an Advising Center” at the NACADA Region 6 annual conference May 16-18 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In their presentation, Wohletz and Noah discussed their experience creating and implementing an advising center at a small, rural university.
“This year’s conference sold out with roughly 500 advisors in attendance,” shared Wohletz, who also sat on the Steering Committee as communications chair. “The conference was a great opportunity to exchange ideas with other advisors from around the region as well as learn new ways to improve advising practices at DSU.”
NACADA is an association of academic advisors working to enhance the educational development of students, with Region 6 covering Iowa, Manitoba, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Northwestern Territories, Saskatchewan and South Dakota. It is open to professional advisors, counselors, faculty, administrators and students.
