In recent years NACADA has revisited its definition, approach, and use of research to advance the field of academic advising. Specifically, the NACADA Research Committee and the "Taskforce for Infusing Research Throughout NACADA" have studied the ways in which advisors and administrators consume and produce research. Join Joshua Smith (2006-2008 Research Committee Chair and current Taskforce Chair) and Wendy Troxel (Research Committee Member) in this online broadcast as they:

• discuss the role of research in advising
• describe the Taskforce recommendations
• share the results of a research study conducted with NACADA members that examined advisor perceptions of research and its role in practice
• discover the multiple ways that advisors and administrators can become involved in research that is relevant, useful, and advances the profession
• discuss hot topics in need of future research
• identify next steps for consuming and producing research in academic advising
