Adventures in Advising takes a trip down memory lane with two legends of the field! In this special episode, guest host Dr. Jenny Bloom from Florida Atlantic University sits down with her longtime mentor and friend, Dr. Wes Habley, to explore his incredible journey from music major to one of the foundational voices in academic advising. 🌟

From developing the seven organizational models of advising, to launching NACADA’s Summer Institute, to shaping how generations of advisors think about conceptual, informational, and relational skills—Wes shares the stories, turning points, and even a few behind-the-scenes moments that defined his career.

This conversation is part history lesson, part masterclass, and all heart —celebrating the relationships and legacies that continue to shape the profession today. 

Tune in to hear how passion, mentorship, and a little bit of serendipity can change not only one career—but an entire field!
