Academic advising
Academic advising is, according to NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising, "a series of intentional interactions with a curriculum, a pedagogy, and a set of student learning outcomes. Academic advising synthesizes and contextualizes students' educational experiences within the frameworks of their aspirations, abilities and lives to extend learning beyond campus boundaries and timeframes." == History == Academic advising traces its beginnings to the earliest of American colleges including Harvard University.
