Managing a large caseload of students doesn’t have to mean sacrificing connection, clarity, or student engagement! In this interactive session, participants will learn how to design and implement group advising experiences that builds community, fosters student agency, and creates connections that last beyond a single session – a true slay! This model centers student empowerment, collaboration with faculty, and advising sessions that are equal parts educational and energizing. The session will highlight our successful group advising initiatives catered towards first-semester students, which include building confidence around degree audits, utilizing registration tools, getting to know their student success team, and feeling comfortable with their degree program. Advisors and student success professionals will leave with ready-to-use ideas, facilitation tips, and creative engagement strategies that turn advising from a to-do list into a mainstage moment! This is the second webinar in ACPA-Michigan's 2026 Webinar Series "Doing More with Less," which will feature presentations from higher education faculty and staff about how their campus remains steadfast in centering student success while facing budget cuts, minimized staffs, and uncertain futures. We hope you'll join us!
