Abstract: It has been more than a decade since Museus and Ravello analyzed the roles that culturally engaging academic advisors play in producing equitable outcomes among racially diverse student populations. Their study highlighted the importance of humanized, holistic, and proactive advising in effectively serving students of color in particular. In this essay, one of the original authors discusses how a decade of research has built on this earlier analysis and summarizes evolving insights about the role of culturally engaging advising in supporting students of color. The article concludes with implications for future research, policy, and practice aimed at more equitably serving diverse populations.
