Meet Kate Earnhardt—academic advisor at the University of Nebraska Omaha, Roman-history superfan, and proud cat mom to the incomparable Frank N Beans. Kate shares how a NACADA webinar on her second day in the job lit a fire for professional development, why advising adult and contemporary learners feels like solving a joyful credit jigsaw, and how a recent ADHD diagnosis reshaped her practice and her advocacy for neurodivergent advisors and students. We also dive into her Emerging Leaders Program journey, bold goals for building community, and the hill she’ll die on: take your lunch break.
