Functional Description of the Advising and Counseling SPIN

A group of individuals who collaborate on current issues involving advising and counseling. Specifically, we discuss the Core Values of counseling and current trends in the field.  Moreover, we collaborate on the six ethical core values that all advisors should adhere to:

1) Advisors are responsible to the individuals they advise;

2) Advisors are responsible for involving others, when appropriate, in the advising process;

3) Advisors are responsible to their institutions;

4) Advisors are responsible to higher education;

5) Advisors are responsible to their educational community;

6) advisors are responsible to their professional practices and for themselves personally.

In addition, we review topics that address when is it appropriate to serve as advisor and/or to serve as a counselor. Counselors are licensed personnel and advisors are not.
