Abstract:
Academic advising is an integral part of the higher education domain. Advisors play an important role in collegiate life by establishing a meaningful connection between the students and the college. Despite their important role in student development, limited research exists that has explored advisor identity as leaders. Thus, the primary purpose of this paper is to explore advisor leadership and its impact on students. More specifically, we use transformational leadership in the advising context to develop a conceptual model of advisor leadership and its outcomes on students.
