No longer&nbsp;spread&nbsp;around campus at individual colleges and schools, 26 advisors relocated to a&nbsp;single unit&nbsp;in Founders Hall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their&nbsp;shared&nbsp;mission:&nbsp;a seamless, coordinated approach that serves all undergraduates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;reorganization, which included&nbsp;cross-training existing staff, onboarding new members and establishing shared policies and procedures, was accomplished in just 10 months.&nbsp;A high-energy&nbsp;team of five,&nbsp;led by&nbsp;Suzanne Yates, assistant dean for academic advising,&nbsp;collaborated to build the new unit from scratch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recognition&nbsp;of their efforts,&nbsp;the entire&nbsp;Undergraduate Advising Centralization Leadership Team \u2014 Yates, Claire Grant, Garick Sherburn, Nhi Tran and&nbsp;Jessica Trenkamp&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;has&nbsp;received&nbsp;the&nbsp;University of Washington\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/dsa\/\">2026 Distinguished Staff Award&nbsp;for Innovation<\/a>. This category honors excellence in a team that has created lasting change through implementing an innovative solution to a complex problem or driving a significant effort that enhanced&nbsp;service and\/or efficiency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A customized&nbsp;approach<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe work we did was always ultimately centered on the specific needs of&nbsp;UW&nbsp;Bothell students,\u201d said Yates. \u201cWe built something that we knew would work given our students\u2019 unique needs and challenges.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UW Bothell&nbsp;has a higher-than-average&nbsp;level of diversity among its 6,000 learners, she noted, including many first-generation students, older adults, neurodiverse learners&nbsp;and people with&nbsp;disabilities.&nbsp;While creating the new advising model, Yates&nbsp;and her team strived to keep these students top of mind, and to build in supports and flexibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution,\u201d&nbsp;she&nbsp;said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;initiative&nbsp;faced initial resistance, generated&nbsp;in part&nbsp;by uncertainty, Yates said. \u201cThis was so big,&nbsp;and it affected the livelihoods of 26 people.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;a huge change, and no one loves change,\u201d she said. \u201cFolks less experienced with this model were really worried whether it would be the right move for our students.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In designing&nbsp;the&nbsp;new approach,&nbsp;the&nbsp;centralization&nbsp;leadership&nbsp;team&nbsp;kept student and advisor success at the heart of&nbsp;its&nbsp;work.&nbsp;It&nbsp;also&nbsp;leaned into a host of resources: people at other universities, national organizations and national research&nbsp;that supports&nbsp;a&nbsp;centralized model.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe reached out to other universities in the Pacific Northwest similar to ours,\u201d Yates&nbsp;said. \u201cWe picked from the best examples we knew would work for us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In support&nbsp;of&nbsp;student success<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among its other benefits, the&nbsp;new&nbsp;approach&nbsp;has&nbsp;created a more consistent experience for students and streamlined the advising process, Yates&nbsp;said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before July 2024,&nbsp;first-year&nbsp;students&nbsp;who arrived at UW Bothell undecided about their direction would typically have one advisor as a pre-major, then switch to another when they declared a major. Now, those same students can potentially work with the same advisor&nbsp;throughout their academic journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feedback from&nbsp;undergraduate students has been enthusiastic, Yates reported.&nbsp;With all&nbsp;advisors now located on the first floor of&nbsp;Founders Hall, they are more accessible. And if one&nbsp;advisor&nbsp;happens to be unavailable, it\u2019s&nbsp;easy&nbsp;for a student&nbsp;to find a backup resource.&nbsp;\u201cEveryone knows where to go now,\u201d Yates said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers&nbsp;bear&nbsp;her out:&nbsp;Since the&nbsp;centralized advising structure launched on&nbsp;July 1, 2024, the&nbsp;combined advising&nbsp;team has held&nbsp;more than 11,500 appointments with UW Bothell students.&nbsp;The&nbsp;advisors have guided thousands&nbsp;of students from orientation through the graduation processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese numbers reflect more than efficiency&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;they represent timely, personalized support that empowers students to thrive academically,\u201d said Cinnamon Hillyard, associate vice&nbsp;chancellor&nbsp;and dean&nbsp;for student success. \u201cStudents are now ensured an equitable professional advising experience regardless of their degree program.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advising team\u2019s&nbsp;new&nbsp;location&nbsp;offers&nbsp;advantages&nbsp;beyond academic advising. Situated close to important resources such as&nbsp;the&nbsp;counseling and student success centers,&nbsp;Yates said,&nbsp;\u201cit\u2019s become a great source of referrals.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A higher&nbsp;professional profile<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yates&nbsp;emphasized&nbsp;the newfound benefits for&nbsp;advising&nbsp;staff&nbsp;as well \u2014 from centralized support and resources to&nbsp;more robust opportunities for professional development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advisors also\u00a0experience\u00a0greater\u00a0knowledge\u00a0transfer and sharing, she said. In the old model,\u00a0with one advisor dedicated to a single program,\u00a0a lot of information lived in people\u2019s heads.\u00a0\u201cNow,\u00a0we have a historical record and can support students with these systems. We can piggyback off\u00a0each other\u2019s\u00a0strengths instead of being so disconnected.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as a cohesive unit,&nbsp;advisors&nbsp;have a&nbsp;greater ability to advocate for students.&nbsp;The team has more institutional heft,&nbsp;Yates&nbsp;said,&nbsp;with the ability to analyze student data and bring it to the attention of campus leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have some weight we can throw around,\u201d&nbsp;she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hillyard&nbsp;also pointed out how centralized advising has strengthened partnerships with student-serving units&nbsp;such as&nbsp;Career Services, Orientation &amp; Transition Programs and Undergraduate Research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of navigating multiple departmental advising units, these offices now have a single point of collaboration,\u201d she&nbsp;noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;We built something that we knew would work given our&nbsp;students\u2019&nbsp;unique needs and challenges.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Suzanne Yates, assistant dean for academic advising&nbsp;<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A model for collaborative change<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A year after the new model launched,&nbsp;\u201cSkepticism has faded&nbsp;as the positive impact on student success becomes clear,\u201d Hillyard&nbsp;said. \u201cConfidence in the model has grown because the team listened, responded to&nbsp;concerns&nbsp;and created inclusive systems. Now, other groups seeking change look to this team as a powerful example of&nbsp;transformation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those&nbsp;groups include national organizations, where interest in the team\u2019s work has been keen.&nbsp;UW Bothell team members have&nbsp;presented to groups such as the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. This&nbsp;summer, they will address the American Association of State Colleges &amp; Universities for&nbsp;a&nbsp;second time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis work&nbsp;required&nbsp;vision, resilience and collaboration at every level,\u201d Hillyard&nbsp;said. \u201cBy laying this foundation, this leadership team has positioned UW Bothell&nbsp;as a leader in&nbsp;advising&nbsp;excellence and student success. Their achievements are not only a testament to their dedication but&nbsp;are also&nbsp;a model for transformative change in higher education.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For its work to centralize undergraduate advising,\u00a0Office\u00a0of Student Academic Success team receives the UW Distinguished Staff Award.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":34192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202,211],"tags":[],"school":[417,418,419,420,421],"class_list":["post-34191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","category-honors-and-awards","school-school-of-business","school-school-of-educational-studies","school-school-of-ias","school-school-of-nhs","school-school-of-stem"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":"","link_2":"","link_3":"","link_4":"","link_5":""},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":"","button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
