Commission Reports: Academic Advising News September 2003 This will be my last Academic Advising News report as chair of the Technology in Advising Commission. I would like to thank the members of the Tech Commission's Steering Committee (Tim Bond, Anita Carter, Andrea Irby, Kitty Jones, Wes Lipschultz, George Steele, Jane Stringer, and especially Chuck Haberle, immediate past chair) and all of the other volunteers for helping to make the job of chair much more manageable. I would also like to thank the staff of NACADA's Executive Office, especially Julia Wolf, with whom I worked most closely, for helping to keep me on track with my responsibilities as commission chair. Finally, I would like to welcome Andrea Irby, NC State, who will become the new chair of the commission following the close of the NACADA 2003 national conference in Dallas. Andrea's energy and creative ideas will be a great asset to the work of the Commission. I am looking forward to attending the Dallas conference in October, and I hope that many of you will also be able to attend. There will be a variety of technology-related sessions offered, including some sessions and topics that are new to this conference. Especially noteworthy are the four Tech Commission-sponsored sessions, which will be highlighted in the conference program. All conference attendees are also welcome to attend the Tech Commission meeting to learn more about the activities of the commission, to welcome our new chair, to congratulate Hal Caldwell, winner of this year's Service to Commission Award, and to network with others interested in the uses of technology in academic advising. You may even find a solution to a technology-related problem that you're trying to solve. In addition, the winners of the 2003 Electronic Publication Awards will be recognized at the conference's Awards Ceremony. Additional information about the Technology in Advising Commission, including links to the award-winning Electronic Publication Awards, can be found on our Web site at www.psu.edu/dus/ncta/. Hope to see many of you in Big D. Mike Leonard Technology in Advising Chair 814-865-7576 MJL3@PSU.EDU Revised June 17, 2004 |
