SUMa
SUMa is the council for academic advising and student guidance at UM. Study advisors, career counsellors, academic advisors and legal/financial counsellors meet frequently to share knowledge and to jointly develop a vision and policy for advising.
SUMa’s core objectives for study advising are closely related to the strategic goals of the University:
- Study advising supports contributes to effective goal-setting by students, academically and professionally, and
- encourages and facilitates students to reflect on their abilities, opportunities, and ambitions, and make plans on the basis of that reflection,
- and stimulates students to assume responsibility, and to act independently.
National and international cooperation
SUMa has ties to the following organisations:
- The Landelijke Vereniging van Studieadviseurs (LVSA)
- The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA)
Seminar "Advising towards Employability II"
On June 2, 2016, SUMa, the Council for Academic Advising and Student Counseling of Maastricht University, hosts its second seminar on the role of teaching and advising towards employability. This UM seminar offers a range of initiatives, best practices and research in the interrelated fields of advising and teaching. We look forward to continue and expand the exchange and discussions that sprung alive during the first edition of this seminar in 2015.
