Tell us about your favorite spot on campus, your crew of friends, your favorite professor, your love of thrifting…or basketball…or boardgames…or poetry. We call these provision cards because they aren’t tools that help you get where you’re going, rather they are like the food or fuel you need to keep yourself healthy on the way.

Advising Team card (250 pts)

[category: Advisors] When you have created at least five Advisor cards, you have enough for a team. Tell us about how, together, they serve as mentors or guides in different areas of your life (e.g., academic, career, financial, social, and spiritual). Consider this analogy, on a softball team, you need infielders and outfielders, you need people who can turn a double-play and people who can consistently bat in runs. A team of people with the same skills won’t really cover the bases (see what I did there?). This should be a fairly detailed card with paragraphs about what each can offer separately and how you connect them as a team. Illustrate the card with an image or graphic that symbolizes your team.

Finally, for THIS card, you have to send a link to the card to each person on your team to let them know how valuable they are to you…and who their teammates are!
Only available if you have completed at least five advisor cards (must tag this post with your handle)
