Advising Institutes

Advising institutes provide an opportunity for professional development focusing on academic success at K-State. Typically, the institutes are hosted twice a year, in early January and May. Topics include current issues, university updates, and an emphasis on connection within the advising community.

The Academic Advising Institute is sponsored by NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising and the Division of Academic Success and Student Affairs.
