Academic Affairs and Advising Deans and Directors (ADD)
Academic Affairs and Advising Deans and Directors (ADD) Meeting
The University of Washington is a highly decentralized campus. The Academic Affairs and Advising Deans and Directors Meeting is a self-organized group that comes together to share information and best practices and coordinate across colleges/schools. The group meets regularly to support their roles/functions, which for most of the members, includes advising but also a larger portfolio of student services, policies, and other responsibilities. The goals of the monthly meetings include the following:
-
Share information and coordinate efforts while identifying opportunities for collaboration.
-
Benchmark best practices across campus.
-
Serve as a resource to campus partners to provide feedback on student policies.
The ADD meeting is not an official council/committee/governing body that was appointed as a representative body. They are not elected and they do not vote. Rather, they serve as a community of practice.
Structure
The meetings take place the first Monday of each month from 3pm – 4:30pm. If you have a topic to discuss with the group please reach out to the facilitator. Meeting topics range based on the time of year, current needs/issues, etc. Connect with a member of the group if you would like to inquire about a topic that was discussed.
