Academic Advising Resource Library

Over the past few years, I have grown a collection of resources to assist our SMSU academic advisors with staying up to date on best practices and strategies for success in the field of academic advising. This collection has something for everyone to be able to apply to their personal practice of academic advising. These books are available on loan in my office, and I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out for more information by using my contact information below.
