Provost's Charge
The Undergraduate Studies Council was asked to assemble a Task Force for Undergraduate Advising (TFUA). The TFUA is charged with developing and recommending, by the end of 2008, a plan for improving undergraduate advising.
The task force is expected to organize and review data already gathered on advising, collect additional data as needed, consider a wide range of models for supporting advising, and explore opportunities, innovations, and challenges towards improvement.
Provost response to Faculty Association Question
February 5, 2008
The initiatives proposed by Academic Affairs are discrete but related. The first pertains to advancing and formalizing the role of faculty in the mentorship of students within the context of their majors; the second involves the centralizing of professional advising services. These initiatives are designed to address two separate but related issues. The first is the clear evidence that UNF students would benefit from as much engagement with and guidance from their professors as they can get (and which we assert as a distinguishing feature of a UNF education); and the second is equally clear evidence that, as good as our current advising system might be, there is significant room for improvement.
