About the Journal

Waypoint accepts a broad range of practice-based contributions that link the scholarship and practice of personal tutoring/ academic advising by connecting practice to research, models, theories, and reflections.

If you have something interesting to say on the topic of personal tutoring/academic advising that you think others need to hear, or if you have previously given a presentation on an aspect of personal tutoring/academic advising practice which you would like to rework as a written contribution, why not consider contributing a submission to Waypoint?
