PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: TT Advisor Common Readings on October 24th!
Hello!
We want to extend an invitation to attend our second Tuesday/Thursday (TT) Common Reading discussion of the Fall 2019 semester. For those of you not familiar with the Common Reading Committee, we host Tuesday/Thursday Topics once a month throughout the academic year. Each committee member chooses an article relevant to advising and leads an informal discussion about the article and how it relates to UIC. It is a great chance to not only participate in an advisor-to-advisor professional development opportunity but has also served as a platform to provide advisors with a chance to connect, collaborate, and learn how each college handles the needs of our student body.
Topic: Supporting Undocumented Students
Article: Building Undocumented Student Support In Higher Education Through a Culturally Responsive Lens

Teaser Question: What are we currently doing to support undocumented students?
Synopsis: This article discusses the types of support colleges and universities can provide to DACA and/or undocumented students as they pursue a college degree. It talks specifically about undocumented students’ strengths and the types of advising strategies university staff can use to build collaborative relationships with undocumented students. Also, some up to date information about DACA and policies impacting undocumented students are also included in the article.
The Office for Advising Development will provide treats and drinks, but feel free to bring your lunch.
