Therefore, the conference organizers are calling for submission of academic papers that investigate and discuss the role of academic advising in motivating higher education male and female students toward excellence and academic success, current challenges that face personnel working in the academic advising fields, and the ways of innovation and improvement of academic advising throughout its phases: before, during and after university studies.
