Dear Campus Community,
As you know, President Wood has introduced 23 strategic activities to put the imperatives of our Strategic Plan into action. These bold, yet achievable, actions were outlined after nearly 100 listening sessions with the Sacramento State community and give us concrete steps toward our highest goal of being a stellar example of student success and community service in our region.
Activity 2 states: “Implement a coordinated academic advising model with case management along with a University-wide early-warning system and early-alert system, beginning in Fall 2024”. We’re happy to report that work on implementing that coordinated academic advising model is underway. The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) has completed a review of Sacramento State's academic advising program. The comprehensive report resulting from this review highlights the overarching strengths, challenges, recommendations, and opportunities for enhancing effective advising within our institution. You can access the report here. This report will be one of several measures utilized to guide efforts in building a stronger academic advising program.
As part of our ongoing commitment to improvement, Academic Affairs will soon be reaching out to the campus community via SacSend to solicit participation in a task force charged with leading this effort. The taskforce will work in tandem with the university-wide Advising Council and the Activity 2 Strategic Activity Working Group.
Your input and involvement in this process are highly valued, and we encourage you to engage with us as we work towards refining our academic advising practices.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Carlos Nevarez, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs (Interim)
Aniesha Mitchell, Vice President for Student Affairs
