what is an academic advisor?
Advising Services is committed to supporting you throughout the development and achievement of your educational goals. The foundation of this support is the establishment of an educational partnership between you and your academic advisor. People often think of their advisor as the person who helps them identify appropriate courses for their degree program. We can definitely do that, but we are also here to guide you along other paths for your educational development. Your advising meetings are an important part of the process which begins with your first appointment and continues well into your college experience. We will help you develop your academic plan through the exploration of your life and career goals, complementing them with your interests and skills. You and your advisor will be discussing many things ranging from your previous experiences to your future aspirations.
