Advisor Enrichment & Wellness

Mental and physical health is more important than ever. This initiative invites internal advising staff to participate in gym memberships on campus, group activities in community, and ways to connect and energize after much time apart.

Retreats & Summits

Cal State University East Bay hosts advising retreats and summits aimed at enhancing the professional development of academic advisors. These events feature workshops, discussions, and networking opportunities that focus on best practices in advising, student support strategies, and collaboration among advisors. By fostering a community of practice, the retreats help ensure that advisors are equipped to effectively guide students in their academic journeys.

Past Initiatives

Advisor Wellness in 2023

Our Advisor Summits brought together professionals for enriching discussions on career development, featuring speakers like the Director of Financial Aid. Each event incorporated wellness activities such as meditation, succulent potting, and cookie decorating. Attendees enjoyed giveaways like paint sets and "I love advising" jackets, along with complimentary breakfast and lunch. We also hosted two book club meetings, providing books for all participants, fostering both professional growth and community engagement.
