Brody and Kevin are back to talk hot and cold weather, holiday traditions, and the magic of Mariah Carey season! They are then joined by Dr. Michelle Pickett, Director of the Academic Advising Center at Northern Illinois University, for a warm and insightful conversation about student success, leadership, and the power of genuine human connection in advising.
Michelle shares her journey from advisor to university leader, the secrets behind building trust and belonging on a team, and why advising should never be transactional. Plus, the Christmas movie debate (yes, Die Hard counts) and who really hates Elf.
❄️ Expect laughs, heart, and higher ed wisdom served with a side of holiday spirit and why “advising is relationships” might just be the most powerful mantra in higher ed.
