Understanding the theories of Erickson, Kholberg, and Chickering, I am aware of the development process through the adolescent to adult stage. This process can also be used when looking at student development. By adhering to the student's needs, we can assist them in that transition and provide them the needed resources and services that will hopefully develop into student success. As advisors, that is what we strive for, even if it is straying from the path they want, we should be able to offer other areas of exploring to find a field that can succeed in, personally and professionally.
