Advising Nudges: Getting Students To Take Action (webinar)
May 18th, 2023 | 2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. EST | $395
Intentionally design advising and student success communications that help students make better decisions and take timely action by applying tools from the highly effective Nudge Theory.
Why Is This Topic Critical?
As advising department budgets continue to tighten, Nudge Theory offers a critical cost-effective strategy for advisors. Advising professionals can use Nudge Theory to radically improve student advising without needing additional personnel or funding.
Nudge theory considers how people think, make decisions, and behave. Then helps people improve their thinking, decisions and actions through utilizing indirect encouragement and enablement in communications.

Campus leadership, including deans, provosts and vice-presidents who oversee Faculty and Professional Academic Advising on Campus

Overview
Student engagement and success are at the top of higher education’s to-do list, but funding and resources are low priorities. One way to close the gap is by using nudges, tiny but powerful tools you can embed in emails—and throughout your advising systems--to positively influence student behavior.
Central to the Nudge concept in advising is that students can be helped to both think appropriately and make better decisions by being offered choices that have been designed to enable these outcomes.
To be effective, advisors and student success personnel must be knowledgeable about nudges: how the strategy evolved; why nudges can be successful; why nudge timing is critical; and how to develop nudges that will produce results and recognize those that should never be sent. This webinar will explore how this cost-effective strategy can be a top tool in your advising and success tool box.
