Advising at the Millennium: Advisor Satisfaction and Perceived Avenues to Enhancement

Abstract

This is the third in a series of three articles in which the results of the NACADA Academic Advising Survey 2000 are presented. In this article, advisor satisfaction and suggested avenues for service and professional enhancement are reported. These factors are examined according to the type, mission, and size of the respondents' institutions. In addition, comparisons are made between faculty advisors and professional staff advisors, between advisors and academic administrators, between respondents from centralized and decentralized advising offices, and between advising offices located in academic units and administrative units.
