In this edition of Adventures in Advising, Matt and Ryan are joined by Jaime Ortiz, Director of Academic Advising at Saint Louis University’s Madrid campus. From his early days as a scholarship student to becoming a leader shaping the evolution of advising at SLU-Madrid, Jaime shares a powerful story of growth, resilience, and cross-cultural connection.
Tune in to hear how Jaime helped transform a one-person advising office into a thriving team supporting both permanent and study abroad students, all while balancing the unique challenges of being an American institution in a European setting. Plus, don’t miss his take on building community, embracing sci-fi, and what it really means to be at the crossroads of global education.
