One of the challenges in higher education is helping students to
achieve academic success while ensuring their personal and
vocational needs are fulfilled. In this updated edition more than
thirty experts offer their knowledge in what has become the most
comprehensive, classic reference on academic advising. They explore
the critical aspects of academic advising and provide insights for
full-time advisors, counselors, and those who oversee student
advising or have daily contact with advisors and students.

* New chapters on advising administration and collaboration with
other campus services

* A new section on perspectives on advising including those of
CEOs, CAOs (chief academic officers), and CSAOs (chief student
affairs officers)

* More emphasis on two-year colleges and the importance of
research to the future of academic advising

* New case studies demonstrate how advising practices have
been put to use.
