DESIGN CHALLENGE

THE DESIGN PHASE OF THE UAAC’S APPRECIATIVE ADVISING CHALLENGE IS HERE!

The DESIGN phase is the stage where advisors assist students in co-creating a plan to make their dreams possible. This includes teaching them how to make decisions, giving positive feedback, encouragement and making effective referrals. Advisors help students to decide which of their dreams to work on, how to break a large dream into manageable goals and offer them the tools and resources to build confidence in creating their own path.

• Teach students to make decisions
• Give positive feedback and encouragement 
• Be aware of the curse of knowledge
• Make effective referrals

DESIGN PHASE CHALLENGE: 

Since REFERRALS are key to the DESIGN phase, when referring students to your office, what are 3 things you want your campus colleagues to know about your office?
