WASHINGTON, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Advising Success Network
(ASN), led by NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher
Education, is thrilled to announce the selection of six
institutions for the 2024-2025 Advising Success Network Cohort,
generously supported by Lumina Foundation. The ASN Cohort is a
unique initiative and collaborative community of practice for
institutions aiming to enhance their advising practices and
policies through holistic advising redesign. This 18-month
supported learning experience fosters collaboration among
institutions that serve significant populations of Black,
Latinx/a/o, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, poverty-affected
students, and/or students over the age of 25.
The 2024-2025 cohort includes:
- Albany State University
- Florida Agricultural and Mechanical
University
- H. Councill Trenholm State Community College
- Lawson State Community College
- Morgan State University
- Pierce College District
(Washington)
The participating institutions are engaging in a learning
community and receiving expert monthly guidance, facilitated
monthly meetings, and access to national networks. "Advising is one
key touchpoint between students and institutions that can impact
students' academic, career, and financial decisions, and I am
excited to support this community of institutions as they leverage
advising as a space for advancing racial and socioeconomic equity,"
said Dr. Jasmine Haywood, strategy
director for student success at Lumina Foundation.
NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education and
the Advising Success Network team are excited to embark on
this transformative journey alongside the cohort and contribute to
the enhancement of advising practices nationwide. "Advising is an
essential part of a student's college experience, and students who
have a strong advising experience may have greater persistence and
completion rates. By coordinating a prior cohort through the
Advising Success Network with our national partners we
learned more deeply about the emerging practices at institutions
serving our priority students," said Dr. Amelia Parnell, NASPA president.
The Advising Success Network is also excited to welcome
applications for the Student Choice Awards for Holistic Advising.
Student reviewers will select a set of institutions that
demonstrate a commitment to the inclusion of student voices and
perspectives and provide them awards ranging from $1,000.00 – $10,000.00. Additional information about the
awards, including the application questions, eligibility
requirements, process, and past winners, can be found on the
