搁别蝉茅苍诲别锄

Professor 搁别蝉茅苍诲别锄 will talk about his book during a colloquium to be held Wednesday, Oct. 12, in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day. The colloquium is sponsored by the Department of Native American Studies, the Indigenous Research Center of the Americas, the Strategic Native American Retention Initiative and the Hemispheric Institute on the Americas.

The free program is scheduled from 2:10 to 4 p.m. in 3201 .

A sweeping history by Professor Andr茅s 搁别蝉茅苍诲别锄, The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America, is in the running for a 2016 National Book Award.

 "The Other Slavery"

Five finalists will be announced on Oct. 13, and the winner named at a Nov. 16 ceremony in New York.

The Other Slavery, published last spring by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, tells the story of the enslavement of tens of thousands of Native Americans from the time of the conquistadors up to the early 20th century, and builds the case that slavery decimated native populations across North America more than commonly cited epidemics.  

鈥淚t is wonderful that a book on a gloomy subject like the enslavement of Native Americans in North America can still find a place in the longlist of the National Book Award,鈥 搁别蝉茅苍诲别锄 said. 

The research is clear: academic advising increases student success. Possessing a knowledge base that straddles both academic and student affairs, crosses institutions and extends into the community, academic advisors are cultural navigators who teach students how to articulate and achieve their educational goals.  For master academic advisors, professional development is ongoing; learning never ends.

 鈥楢dvocating for Academic Advising鈥

Carolyn Thomas and Brett McFarlane, leaders of Undergraduate Education and its Academic Advising unit, respectively, are the authors of a chapter in the new book Beyond Foundations: Developing as a Master Advisor.

The book is due out this month from Jossey-Bass and the National Academic Advising Association, or NACADA. A news release states: 鈥淲ritten for experienced academic advisors, Beyond Foundations provides direction for primary-role and faculty academic advisors who seek not only to take their practice of advising to the next level, but also to widen their circle of influence.鈥

The book also supports advising in general, particularly in the Thomas-McFarlane chapter, 鈥淎dvocating for Academic Advising.鈥

鈥淓xperienced academic advisors, equipped with an effective toolset, and united in approach, can serve as transformational campus change agents for advising excellence,鈥 McFarlane said.   

Thomas, a professor of American Studies, serves as the vice provost and dean of Undergraduate Education. In her role as an administrator, she researches, writes and speaks on the importance of enhancing advising on university campuses, and the advantages of hybrid and adaptive approaches to classroom pedagogy.

McFarlane is the executive director of Academic Advising for Undergraduate Education, leading the development and implementation of a comprehensive, campuswide plan for the improvement of undergraduate academic advising. He has held various leadership positions in the National Academic Advising Association since 2006.
