Team Enhanced Advising and Mentoring
Building Holistic and Inclusive Advising Practices
At the heart of Brown's undergraduate advising initiatives is Team Enhanced Advising and Mentoring (TEAM). TEAM, which began in 2009, is a community of Exploratory advisors that works with first-year and sophomore students. The overall goal of the TEAM program is to support advisors in their advising efforts so that all students, and especially those from historically underrepresented communities, can thrive at Brown. Our assessments to date indicate that we are realizing this goal and that the program so far has had a very positive impact on both advisors and students.
TEAM members meet in a seminar during the academic year to discuss major issues with colleagues, to listen to and learn from invited speakers, and to become familiar with important resources on campus. We started with just one such “team” of about a dozen advisors in 2009. Since then, hundreds of faculty and staff advisors from across the University have committed to participate in, and contribute to, the program.
Each year, we see continued growth in our TEAM cohort, and invite you to consider participating in the coming academic year. You can learn more about TEAM participation in the FAQs below.
