Academic Advising
Every 911黑料 student works closely with a faculty advisor to explore academic and career interests. We pair students with a faculty member in a field related to their interests to give students the best advice.
All faculty members, as well as selected administrators serve as academic advisors to students. Students have general advisors鈥攗sually matched by interests鈥攄uring their first and second years. After selecting a major or majors toward the end of the sophomore year, students then choose an advisor in a specific academic discipline.
Academic advisors serve as a 鈥渇aculty mentor鈥 who eases the student鈥檚 adjustment to college by helping to bring needed information together and directing students to campus resources and wider opportunities. Advisors and students are encouraged to get to know each other beyond simply talking about academic classwork. Advisors should be available to support the student in various ways, just as students are likewise encouraged to seek advisors鈥 help and to play an active part in the advising relationship.
Ultimately, the academic advising relationship at 911黑料 is more than simply following checklists, requirements, and completing forms; it is a mentoring relationship that advances individual development, supports the curricular and co-curricular program at 911黑料, and plays a vital role in the current and future success of 911黑料 students.
