The vision of NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising is to be the leader within the global education community for the theory, delivery, application and advancement of academic advising to enhance student learning and development. In this Web Event, sponsored by NACADA's Theory and Philosophy of Advising Commission, our panelists will consider questions such as Where do the theory and philosophy of advising stand today? Where are they headed? How is theory related to our practice? Is there a difference between "theory" and "philosophy" and if so, how are they related? What theories of advising are represented in the most important literature on the subject? How should our limited ability to know our students affect how we think about the nature of advising? What will a successful theory of advising accomplish?

Panelists will offer separate but related short takes on these questions, then invite event participants to text in questions for further discussion. Our moderator will help identify linkages among the presentations, and there will be ample opportunity to begin an open conversation, which will then be continued at our October Annual Conference in Salt Lake City.
