The Advising CoP is a Canvas-based discussion platform for advisors in adult education programs in Massachusetts. It includes a resource page and discussion forums that are set up to allow advisors to ask and answer questions, share best practices, share resources, and work through common challenges related to their role. It can be accessed anywhere and anytime by busy advisors looking for support. 

Everyone is welcome to participate, either by adding their own questions or requests or responding to others. A moderator will ensure that all questions receive a response, that all responses and resources are shared correctly, and that all topics are timely, relevant, and appropriate.

Join us for the Advising CoP Launch Week 

The Advising CoP opens on December 1, 2025, and we need your help to get the conversation started! Join us during Launch Week to introduce yourself, get to know other advisors, and start sharing resources and questions for your colleagues. A group of experienced advisors will be checking in all week to reply to your questions and keep the conversation going. 

Register for the CoP before or during Launch Week*. When you register, you will be enrolled in the Advising CoP in Canvas and will be able to access the CoP when it opens on December 1 at 9 a.m. We hope that you will participate in Launch Week by introducing yourself and posting at least once or twice to the discussion board before Friday, December 5. Of course, we hope you’ll continue the conversation all year long!

*Registration for Launch Week will be open until December 5. After Launch Week, the CoP will be available for you and your colleagues on your own schedule. A link to enroll directly into the CoP will be added here after December 5.
