The Advising Training & Development Team (ATDT) – formerly known as the Advisory Board for Advisor Training (ABfAT) – provides guidance to the Office of Undergraduate Advising regarding campus-wide training and professional development.
Subcommittees assist with the creation and implementation of workshops and trainings throughout the year.
ATDT is led by the Office of Undergraduate Advising Associate Director for Training and Community Development. ATDT meetings provide space to plan and coordinate new and existing professional development events, share advisor training-related updates & announcements, and receive feedback and ideas for subcommittee work. This committee provides leadership in helping OUA plan strategically for training in the coming year and beyond.
ATDT meets once a month during the academic year, from 2-4:30 pm on the third Tuesday of each month. The committee has one two-hour meeting during the month of July to transition into the following school year. We schedule that meeting at a time that works for most of the members’ schedules.

ATDT seeks members who love to create welcoming environments in which all advisors can do their best learning. Membership is open to anyone with an advising or career services-related role, but the number of committee seats available depends on member departures from year to year.
We value diverse perspectives and approaches to learning & professional development, and particularly encourage advisors who have participated the “Art of Advising”, the Leadership Institute, or other learning around identity and cultural literacy to apply.
All ATDT members are encouraged to participate on a subcommittee that carries forth training initiatives and ideas, which means they will have additional meetings related to the subcommittee tasks. Members are also expected to serve as hosts at the annual UW-Madison Advising Conference.
