In response to COVID-19, colleges and universities are transitioning to fully online coursework and distance support services. This can create heightened stress for professionals not familiar with various forms of technology platforms. In this session, participants will gain an understanding of how to implement Appreciative Advising in a virtual format and will be provided with step-by-step directions of the most popular virtual platforms to take advising conversations into the digital world. Platforms include; Microsoft Teams, GroupMe, iMessage, and Zoom
