University counselors have been in place in China for more than fifty years, and they serve an important (yet underappreciated) role in Chinese universities. The professional development of this profession is: (1) a realistic need for the construction of quality education development teams in colleges/universities; (2) a theoretical need for the perfection of the counselor system; and (3) an urgent need for the development and improvement of counselors. The researchers analyzed an improved counselor system, Quality Mentor (QM), implemented by Wuchang University of Technology (WUT) and the results suggest that professional development of QM can be promoted by improving the social recognition, perfecting the system, and improving the quality of QMs.
