I am honored to serve as your Region Chair and I look forward to engaging with you in the multitude of professional development activities this conference offers. Whether through pre-conference sessions, concurrent sessions, poster sessions, or networking opportunities, Region V will provide something for everyone! As the conference theme suggests we will be looking at a number of best practices that demonstrate the commitment academic advisors make to their students’ growth and development as successful students and engaged citizens. Our work is never without its challenges and my hope is that you will come away from this conference with new ideas, research driven practice, new and enhanced collegial relationships, and renewed energy for your work as an advising professional. If you are a first time attendee at this year’s conference, I encourage you to participate in the NACADA Orientation for First Time Attendees. In addition to connecting you with NACADA Leaders and other new attendees, the orientation will offer tips on how to gain the most from your conference experience. The leadership of NACADA is thrilled to have you join us, and we want to assist you in getting involved with the organization in a way that meets your needs as an advising professional. In an effort to continue to enhance our social media presence, we also invite all attendees to connect with each other in Madison through Twitter via the hashtag #nacadar5 and by “liking” the NACADA Region 5 Facebook page for regional and conference updates and announcements. While in Madison, I encourage all of you to take time to explore the eclectic and culturally rich city that is hosting our conference! From its historic role as the state capitol to its culturally diverse restaurants and entertainment, Madison has much to offer its visitors! Best Wishes for a wonderful conference! Debra “Deb” Dotterer Great Lakes Region 5 Chair, NACADA Michigan State University [email protected] NACADA Region 5 Conference 4 Welcome from 2014 Conference Co-Chairs Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the Region 5 Conference, “Academic Advising, Best Practices for Mooo-ving Students Forward.” On behalf of the 2014 NACADA Great Lakes Region 5 Conference Steering Committee, we would like to extend a warm welcome. We are excited to host over 450 advising professionals from across the region to engage in this exciting professional development opportunity. This year’s conference theme is a combination of two things near and dear to those who live and work in Wisconsin: cows and our state motto, “Forward.” We hope that at the conclusion of the conference you feel as though you have learned ways to continue to help your students move forward, from your office to their timely graduation. We hope you enjoy hearing from Edgewood College’s Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dean Pribbenow, as well as the “Weather Guy,” Professor Jonathan Martin from UW-Madison. We also are confident you will enjoy all of the concurrent sessions that your colleagues prepared for you. Hopefully you will find yourself mooooooooooooooo-ving forward in your own knowledge over these three fun-filled days! We hope to see you eating some tasty desserts at our opening reception with UW-Madison’s own co-educational a cappella group, Redefined, as well as enjoying Wisconsin’s own Pat McCurdy on Thursday evening, before you head out to one of Madison’s wonderful restaurants for dinner. Madison is a great city to explore on foot, even when it is cold outside! We are thrilled to be hosting the 2014 Region 5 Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, and look forward to a meaningful conference, which will inspire you to bring some new ideas back your institution!
