About this listen

What does it take to build meaningful, scalable professional development for academic advisors across an entire university system?

In this episode of Adventures in Advising, Matt and Ryan pull back the curtain on a remarkable systemwide effort within the University of Texas System: the creation and launch of the Fundamentals of Excellence in Academic Advising learning modules. Joined by Angie Barrera, Weston Rose, Dr. Heather Smith, and Dr. Rebecca Karoff, the conversation traces this initiative from early vision to implementation, highlighting the collaboration, trust-building, and intentional design required to support advising at scale.

Listeners will hear how system leadership partnered with campus practitioners, how advisor voices shaped the curriculum, and how flexibility was preserved across diverse institutional contexts. Along the way, the guests share lessons learned, early outcomes, and insights for other systems seeking to elevate advising as a profession and a cornerstone of student success.
