Innovation = Care
Put simply, care. Care about students. Care about advisors. Care about departments. Care about program and state requirements. Care about policies. Ultimately, care about changing lives.
… how vital the role of a strong advising relationship is to students’ retention and success. Providing students with 24/7 access to personally curated information resources can guide them throughout their programs’ completion. This innovation aims to improve the experience for both advisors’ and students’ while strengthening that relationship.

Why = Make a difference
Guiding students to find or reconnect with a passion for learning and to make meaningful connections throughout their learning experience on the way to becoming life-long inquisitive learners.
Helping advisors find their purpose and joy in helping others by helping them overcome challenges and valuing their input as change agents.
… my purpose is to make a difference in other people’s lives.

Goal = Motivation/Ownership
- Who do our students want to become?
- Who do our advisors want to help them become?
- What motivates our advisors to come and guide students?
- How does each impact the lives of our students and advisors? (CSLE2COVA, 2018)
I want to help revolutionize advising.
