Reviews

Finally, a guide to the supervision and advising of the university's most prized product-graduate students. As Twale indicates, faculty receive little training for this responsibility. Yet the importance of nurturing and advising tomorrow's university donors, prized alumni, and sources of program reputation cannot be overstated. I recommend this book to all new faculty who want to learn how to guide their students and to the more seasoned faculty who not only recognize the value of advising activities but also desire to improve the process. --Linda Serra Hagedorn, Professor and Associate Dean, Iowa State University New assistant professors at all institutions could benefit from reading this book! Twale captures many of the nuances of graduate student advising in her handy guide. The summary of best practices provides the reader with uncomplicated takeaways, while the list of resources and references at the end of each chapter points advisors to additional reading to enhance their own knowledge and practice. The information Twale has compiled is invaluable to new and seasoned advisors. --Tamara Bertrand Jones, Assistant Professor of Higher Education, Florida State University
