How are students advised in the Department of Kinesiology?
All incoming freshmen at Towson University are assigned to a First Year Experience (FYE) adviser who works with the student throughout their first year at the university. This adviser assists in transition to college, location of campus resources, schedule building, course sequencing, and other special programs available to TU students. Ms. Susie Truitt serves as the FYE adviser for most of the Department of Kinesiology freshmen. Transfer students work with a transfer adviser within the Department of Kinesiology for their first semester on campus. Dr. Gail Parr and Matt Rothbard serve as transfer student advisers for students in the department. Following the FYE year or the transfer semester, students are assigned to a faculty member in the Department of Kinesiology within the student’s particular area of interest who serves as their faculty mentor/adviser for their remaining years at Towson University.
