2020 – 2021 Advising Summits
For Fall 2020, the Advising Summit was held virtually in a series of virtual meetings and events being held throughout the term. Topics included - financial aid updates, a SAP Mini-Clinic, an advisor interactive group discussion about privacy and FERPA in a virtual setting, and our featured event was a viewing of NACADA Webinar presented by black male advising leaders that was brought into a UIC context with a panel of black male leaders in the UIC advising community.
The Spring 2021 Advising Summit was held on Friday, February 19th as a virtual morning event with presentations on study abroad, career services, financial aid, and UIC's new bias reporting tool.
We are continuing our initiative to provide essential news and information to advisors. We want to connect them with programs and units around campus that are serving students through their varied identities and affiliations continues with highlighting units that our advisors have requested.
