Why Residence Life and New Student Programs?
“If we could postpone the operation of our present ‘adviser’ system, which is based entirely on academic divisions, and start that with the sophomore year, it would really fit in better with the time at which students naturally are inclined to make vocational decisions. (quote continued…)
![Page 16: Academic Advising at Miami University](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c2f550346895da5abe1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Then if we could find competent tutors, both men and women, to take residence in our freshman halls, not as proctors but as real guides and advisers of the freshman, we certainly should be able to be of much greater assistance to these boys and girls than we are at present” (Upham, 1928).

What is developmental advising?
“…Developmental counseling or advising is concerned not only with a specific personal or vocational decision but also with facilitating the student’s rational processes, environmental and interpersonal interactions, behavior awareness, and problem-solving, decision-making, and evaluation skills” (Crookston, 1972/1994, p.5).
![Page 22: Academic Advising at Miami University](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c2f550346895da5abe1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is developmental advising?
“The process of academic advising includes the following dimensions: 1) the exploration of life goals, 2) exploration of vocational goals, 3) program choice, 4) course choice, and 5) scheduling choices” (O’Banion, 1972/94, p.10).
