2025 NACADA National Conference Presentation
ISU Advisors Tout Peer Advising Program at National Advising Conference
Peer mentoring and advising programs have long been known to have a positive impact on university communities and retention rates. At the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) Annual Convention, two Idaho State University academic advisors had the opportunity to showcase just how successful our program has become.
Focusing on campus retention and peer advisor professional development outcomes, advisors Dylan Koenig and Janelle Fowlers presented to a large audience of NACADA attendees in Las Vegas, Nevada. Titled Jackpots & Journeys: A Peer Advising Program to Bet on the Next Generation of Professional Advisors, Dylan and Janelle demonstrated not only the day to day impacts of peer advising at ISU, but how the program is designed to create future leaders in the profession.
Peer advisors at ISU register for a 1 credit class (ACAD 4450) each semester, which bolsters their training and development. If you have any questions about peer advising at ISU, please contact dylankoenig@isu.edu or janellefowler@isu.edu.
