Each year, incoming students are assigned both a Lower-Division Faculty/Staff Advisor and Student Advisor. In tandem, Student Advisors serve as a guide throughout orientation and a student’s first semester. Student Advisors assist the Lower-Division Advisor with individual and small group advising by offering insight on class selection, building a social network, and academic support services. They are trained to answer most general academic inquiries. Working closely with Lower-Division Advisors and OAA, Student Advisors support their peers in developing academic plans built on values, goals, and career aspirations.
