ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THANKS

The onboarding module would not be complete without thanking the group that pulled it all together. This group of new advisers, some only in their first year on the job, spent hours discussing and debating the most important things everyone should know within their first year. So, a special thank you to:

Elizabeth Clever, Joshua Harman, Gary Preston, Cathy Manley, and Nick Haas-Brown.

An extra special thanks to Rebekah Dunaway, who also worked some Ultra magic and helped pull the thoughts of the committee into module format, in addition to serving on the original committee.

The committee was facilitated by Joy Carr.

The Navigate Tips and Tricks document was created by Jennifer Jones.

Best Tips for Managing Email was created by Dominique Bruno.

Keep Calm and Reflect On was a presentation created by Nick Haas-Brown for the 2023 WV Academic Advising Conference.
