Black River Technical College (BRTC) Academic Advisor Michelle Wooldridge recently attended the Arkansas Academic Advising Network Conference (ARKAAN) in Jonesboro.
Advisors from multiple universities came together to collaborate on ways to address challenges faced by students during the advising process. Advisors attended several small group sessions concentrating on developing skills to better serve their student bodies. At the end of the conference each advisor gave informal presentations on issues each had been working on throughout the conference. Each person shared the plan of action each had devised to remedy their particular issue.
“I enjoyed making many connections with others trying to better themselves in order to make a larger impact on their student population,” said Wooldridge.
