ABSTRACT
When I began my academic career in 1972, I was certain that teaching and advising were mutually exclusive activities. I believed that teaching consisted of giving lectures to groups of students in my classroom and then testing them to determine whether they had accurately assimilated the information from my lectures and their textbook. I believed that advising consisted of meeting individually with my psychology major advisees in my office to help them choose classes for the following semester in a manner that would allow them to graduate in 4 years.
