Abstract	Advising is powerful because it attends to core elements of each student's success: setting academic goals based on transfer and/or career interests, developing an academic plan to attain those goals, and staying on track until those goals are met. Each of these big-picture tasks encompasses dozens of smaller ones which include: (1) Raising aspirations and setting goals; (2) Developing academic plans and registering for courses;and (3) Helping students help themselves; and (4) Focusing on the big picture. The multilayered benefits of advising are well established: "Advisors help students make choices in a complex environment, often by explaining the costs and benefits of each available option, and they guide students to additional resources that will help them make good decisions." These good decisions have benefits beyond putting students on track to meet their long-term goals. In addition, they help students feel welcome and engaged. Perhaps most important, they help students experience early successes--meeting financial aid deadlines, enrolling in courses that advance their career goals, and so on--that build their confidence. Over time, these early successes accumulate and give students a strong foundation for persevering and meeting the challenges of completing college. This report aims to help colleges better understand advising, including how advising's structure, content, and intensity help shape the student experience. While some colleges use digital platforms and tools to support advising, "Show Me the Way" focuses on the human interactions of advising. (ERIC).
