More Details

Humor is defined in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as a 'normal functioning bodily semifluid or fluid' wait, what? Scratch that...Humor is defined in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as a 'quality which appeals to a sense of the ludicrous or absurdly incongruous'. Okay, that's better. 

As advisors, we search for methods and strategies to help us connect with our students in order to help them navigate difficult, stressful, and unfamiliar situations. During this interactive session, participants will learn about the history of academic research on humor, and be able to identify several ways they can effectively incorporate humor into their advising practice.
