Sharon Aiken-Wisniewski's Reflection on the 2013 NACADA International Conference- Maastricht, The Netherlands


June included a new experience for me - participating in an international conference on academic advising.  This conference gathered over 240 academic advising professionals and faculty from around the globe to talk about strategies, techniques, and research that impact students and our institutions.  My experience included presenting on advising assessment and facilitating a workshop on building a mission statement as well as attending a number of informative sessions. Another new experience was presenting in a chapel with beautiful stained glass windows (see below).  Let me share a few thoughts and photos from this experience.
