In this episode of The Pickup Meeting, Brody and Kevin welcome Cecilia Olivares, Director of Academic Advising Initiatives at the University of Missouri and former NACADA President, for a conversation that zigzags delightfully from Easter candy to change management to the existential question of academic advising itself.
Fresh off the Administrators Institute, the trio dives into:
- Tech implementation without losing the human touch
- Decentralization dilemmas and the art of staying curious
- Why “What’s the worst that could happen?” might be leadership’s most underrated question
- Exploratory students, major changes, and decision-making on the daily
- Dissertation marathons, dust-covered books, and the power of just finishing
- And yes…Criminal Minds vs. NCIS
There are road trip playlists. There is Garth Brooks. There is a brief and unexpected detour into Breaking Bad territory. The rails are left. The rails are found again.
