Small, well-timed actions (e.g., how we frame feedback, signal belonging, or help students interpret setbacks), can dramatically influence motivation, trust, and persistence. In this session, we’ll explore the research behind “wise advising”: evidence-based practices that help students feel seen, capable, and connected to the institution. Participants will walk away with practical strategies they can use immediately, along with an understanding of how their everyday advising insights contribute to Pitt’s broader Action Research agenda. Together, we’ll look at how advising can become a powerful engine for innovation and student success.

Register for the Science of Wise Advising Workshop

What to Expect

Please note that participants will wait in a virtual “waiting room” after joining the meeting, and Provost McCarthy will meet with participants in the order they arrive. Depending on the number of attendees, this could be a fairly long wait.
