Advising for Today's Honors Students

Advising for Today's Honors Students brings together a group of eleven essays on the theory and practice of honors advising. The volume opens with an account of the linked histories of academic advising and honors education. A series of six chapters on the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of advising follow, and the final four chapters have an applied focus. In its pages, readers will find information on how factors such as motivation influence honors students as well as how approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and intention setting may be used to guide them in accomplishing their academic, professional, and personal goals. Readers across honors from all institution types will find adaptable advising models together with data on various advising approaches and contexts. Examples include advising in large honors programs and colleges, peer advising and mentoring, and advising first-generation students.
