, students need tosee themselves represented in success stories and in role models in specific fields. Withoutseeing themselves in these success stories, their confidence to succeed academically and withcareer aspirations will be impacted. Identity-conscious advising (1) understands intersectionality,(2) recognizes systemic barriers, (3) promotes inclusive excellence, and (4) supports “wholestudent” identity and development. Best practices for identity-conscious advising requiresadvisor development across areas of cultural competency, identity awareness, bias recognition,and intersectionality, as well as recruitment of diverse advisors for showcasing broadrepresentation of success to the student body. Identity-conscious advising also requires

The Buck Institute of Education, whose work focuses mostly on K-12 education,has articulated a set of essential elements of “Gold Standard PBL” [3] that are readily applicable to thehigher education context: 1. Key Knowledge, Understanding, and Skills: Make clear the learning goals for PBL assignments. Often these are a combination of disciplinary knowledge and transferrable skills and abilities. 2.
