Fall 2023 Pre-Arrival Group Advising 

Each year, Advising & Career Services invites new students to participate in pre-arrival group advising sessions - giving each learner a chance to ask their "1 Big Question" prior to arriving at Humber.

This year, our advising team supported over 900 new students in these sessions - answering their questions, and connecting them to campus resources, services and supports at Humber.

Highlights:

• With the support of Humber's Institutional Analysis and Planning team, our pre-arrival group advising data shows that these sessions positively impact learner retention, persistence, and GPA by approximately 10 per cent
• These group sessions ran over the course of six weeks (July 17 to August 25), and were offered to learners in domestic, international and mature student formats
• Our Career & Student Success Advisor's (CSSAs) facilitated a total of 84 pre-advising group sessions
• We connected students to over 15 campus partners, such as the International Student Centre, Peer Assisted Learning Support (PALS), Accessible Learning Services and many more

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this Fall 2023 Pre-advising term a great success. Please also note a special thanks for the CSSAs, the International Student Advising team, and Thereasa Gordon, who all worked hard to make the Fall 2023 pre-arrival advising program a huge success!
