Meet Our Team

Housed within the Office of Undergraduate Education, Dr. Q and Katie Peterson are committed to supporting undergraduate academic advisors through comprehensive training and professional growth opportunities. Each year, we are joined by two full-time academic advisors who serve as Advising Fellows. These fellows play a vital role in enhancing professional development efforts and strengthening engagement within the advising community.

Grounded in Appreciative Administration and aligned with NACADA competencies, UAARE serves as a catalyst for advising excellence by empowering academic advisors through professional development, community, collaboration, and data-informed innovation. We partner across the institution to cultivate thriving professionals, strengthen advising practice, and lead continuous improvement that advances equitable student success. 

From onboarding new advisors to delivering systems training and hosting networking events, we are committed to:

• Support undergraduate academic advisors to explore, thrive, and promote.
• Design and implement professional development programs for advising staff.
• Foster collaboration with other institutional departments and stakeholders.
• Identify potential career opportunities or advancements.
• Gain insights into industry trends and best practices.
• Foster innovation in advising approaches and services.
• Advocate for the importance and impact of academic advising within the institution.

We’re happy to help! Reach out anytime with questions or concerns.
