Figure 3 Academic Advising Center Staff and Responsibilities
All faculty and staff involved in advising (advisors, advising liaisons, faculty mentors) will be evaluated each semester by various members of the advising community. Evaluations will be discussed and made available to the advisor and their immediate supervisor as well as the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. Advising portfolios should be created and updated each year that documents advising effectiveness. The portfolio would include a philosophy of advising; self-evaluation; reflective essay responding to peer, student, and supervisor's reviews; description of strongest and weakest advising case and professional development plan highlighting strengths, weaknesses and development goals. All hard copies of portfolios should be submitted to the department chairs or director by June 1 of each academic year. The advising portfolio should be included in the tenure/promotion review packet. Portfolios will also be reviewed as part of employee evaluations for professional advising staff.
