Across the Divide between Health Science Academics and Advising
Journal Title: Ergonomics International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
College and University Administrators struggle to implement their institutional vision and mission, they have yet to fully realize the benefits that academic advisors can offer as partners in this effort, through their unique skills sets in bridging academic content and student development. This is particularly true in the in the health related science disciplines, where students – and retention – struggle [1]. The loss of students is costly to educational institutions. The Educational Policy Institute completed a study and published a 2013 report that calculated millions of revenue dollars lost due to attrition – let alone the costs of recruiting students in the first place [2]. But arguably much more important is the cost to a community, state, and country. Science is central to our development as humans, to problem solving, to creating technologically sound and ethical solutions for the needs of a struggling planet and its people. Creating a fabric that withstands harsh weather conditions is important both to the astronaut and the field-hand. Humanity and science need each other; we are truly codependent. If the answers to social and economic problems lie in the uses and ethics of science, we would be remiss as a society and world in not actively addressing the loss of students in our educational institutions.
