Underserved students not only face challenges within the classroom but an entire educational ecosystem that has an inherent inequality of opportunity, or ‘education debt’. Systems are often difficult to navigate, and access to resources or building connection come with unique challenges including overcoming stereotypes and imposter syndrome. I introduce in-class advising as a structured way to build class community, help students succeed academically and actualize degree and career goals. Participants will leave with ideas for in-class advising activities that leverage what we know about meeting students where they are, strengths-based advising and validation theory, and demystifying the college ‘hidden curriculum’.
