The purpose of the Ohio Academic Advising Association -- OHAAA (pronounced Oh-haa) is to raise the profile of academic advising within the academic community and to support the development and growth of academic advising in higher education in Ohio. OHAAA serves a constituency that includes academic advisors, counselors, faculty, administrators, and others in academic and student affairs concerned with the intellectual and personal growth and career development needs of students. OHAAA is the representative and advocate of Ohio academic advisors in institutions of higher education and is a forum for discussion, debate, and the exchange of information and ideas.
Through the annual June OHAAA conference, regional seminars, newsletters, listserv, and this web site, the OHAAA Executive Board works throughout the year to provide a forum to support the growth and development of academic advising in higher education in Ohio.
As an allied member of the National Academic Advising Association, OHAAA fully supports the ideals, goals and programs of NACADA.
Almost 60 advisors from around the state travelled to Columbus to learn, network and share! Check out the conference page for Julian Parrott's presentation and other memories from the 2008 Conference!
