Abstract

Most individuals in the field of academic advising know Virginia Gordon through the dedicated and transformative work she did for NACADA. Less well known is the equally creative and transformative work she engaged in for most of her professional life at Ohio State University. This article addresses how her ideas and convictions about academic advising became the blueprint for how she created advising programs at Ohio State's University College from the mid-1970s to her retirement in the mid-1990s. The work she did during that time anticipated many of the ideas and practices adopted later by the academic advising field.
