Description: This session, sponsored by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) is designed for anyone involved in supporting students who are incarcerated, such as advisors who anticipate working directly with these students; campus-advisors who are in institutions involved with prison education; faculty; and prison education program coordinators. The presenters, representing Achieving The Dream and NACADA, partner organizations of the Advising Success Network, will share strategies for successful implementation of advising strategies tailored to the unique needs of inside scholars. Attendees will gain practical knowledge and tools to enhance their advising practices, ensuring they effectively support students in navigating educational opportunities and overcoming barriers within the carceral environment. Participants will leave with actionable strategies and a deeper understanding of how to create a supportive and impactful advising environment.
