AMP Scholars is a sub-committee of AMP dedicated to advancing scholarship, research, and professional contribution within academic advising. The group supports advisors in developing and sharing their expertise through publications, conference proposals, and engagement with professional organizations and journals. AMP Scholars fosters a collaborative environment that encourages inquiry, peer feedback, and continuous learning while helping elevate the visibility and impact of advising work.

The committee provides guidance and structured support for writing initiatives, proposal development, and submission processes, helping advisors translate their experiences and innovations into scholarly and professional contributions. In addition, AMP Scholars coordinates and promotes advising award opportunities aligned with NACADA, assisting with nominations and recognition efforts that celebrate excellence in the field. Through these efforts, AMP Scholars empowers advisors to grow as practitioner-scholars, contribute to the broader advising community, and strengthen a culture of scholarship across campus.

Each 2-hour session is worth 1 point.
