The Mentor is a free online journal about academic advising in higher education. In addition to interesting articles, the journal also features an advising forum, a section called The Muse which is devoted to advising-related poetry, art work, and short stories, and information on their writing competition. Article topics range from “Responding to Professor Rating Web Sites: An Adviser's Approach,” “How are Online Degree Programs Changing the Role of Academic Advisers?” and “Undeclared Students: Nudge Them Toward a Decision” (written by former UF Advisor, Helen Halasz).
Stay Connected with the UF Office of Admissions
The Office of Admissions is working hard to establish connections with our future students. From this website, you can join their Facebook group, follow them on Twitter, and access two very usable and attractive publications—The Undergraduate General Information Bulletin (UF’s standard brochure) and the UF Guide for Parents of Undergraduates. Advisors, it would be great to include links to the later publications in the prospective student (or parent) e-mails you send.
Students.gov
This is a very useful resource for students and advisors alike. In particular, the career development section has a listing of government internships, volunteer opportunities, and employers.
I really enjoy reading this newsletter the articles are great!
