In higher education, there are moments where we face difficult challenges that make it feel impossible to cope with the daily stresses of our jobs. As academic advisors, we serve as “helping professionals” trained to put others first and place own personal struggles on the sideline. Research over the last three decades, has tried to identify why practitioners leave the student affairs field. In an effort to aid in the retention of mid-level advisors, join the conversation to discuss how you can overcome your #AdvisorAtrophy to transform your professional roadblocks into career hypertrophy.

This will be an interactive AMP Workshop worth 3 AMP points.
