Advising the Students of Today:
2021 Graduates
Advising the Students of Today is an undergraduate academic advising certificate program designed for staff already working in an academic advising position at UC Santa Cruz. The program, developed by the Division of Undergraduate Education’s Office of Campus Advising Coordination, aims to support advisors in building general foundations of advising including NACADA “core competencies,” and essential skills for working with the students who make up our diverse undergraduate population. The certificate program will welcome its 5th cohort during the 2021-2022 school year! Be on the look out for the call for applications this summer, you can also learn more about the program here.
