OUR MISSION STATEMENT

 

In its Statement of Purpose, Wake Forest dedicates itself to fostering “habits of mind that ask ‘why,’ that evaluate evidence, that are open to new ideas, that attempt to understand and appreciate the perspectives of others, that accept complexity and grapple with it, that admit error, and that pursue truth.”  Advising at Wake Forest reflects this vision, and aspires to encourage students in a personal journey—one in which courses chosen and decisions made in and out of the classroom are intentional, and reflect exploration, open-mindedness, creativity, appropriate risk-taking, and willingness to learn from challenges.

 

As part of the broad network of advising resources at WFU, the Office of Academic Advising is charged with providing:

· A “backup” support system for faculty and staff advisers

· Training for new and continuing faculty and staff advisers

· Ongoing evaluation and enhancement of advising services, via dedicated listening to and communicating with both students and their advisers

· Ongoing dialogue and learning about best possible advising practices
