Advising & Student Support Redesign Project for North Carolina Community Colleges. In the past decade, community colleges in North Carolina have faced significant challenges related to student success and completion. In an environment of continuous and rapid change, NCCCS advisors, counselors, and instructors have worked to help all student populations, including underserved groups, with enrollment, persistence, learning, and completing credentials.
Institutions are searching for positive ways to increase student retention and success rates. Appreciative Advising harnesses the power of the organizational development theory of Appreciative Inquiry and the positive psychology literature to provide a framework for increasing adviser and student success.
