Advising Staff

The College of the Arts Professional Advisors help students as they navigate the university through various processes and procedures on their journey toward graduation. There are many resources and tools available to help students connect to their College, monitor academic progress, and plan for future success. Students should schedule a meeting with their professional advisor at least once a semester to set academic goals, and discuss degree requirements. 

College of the Arts advising supports the university advising mission by providing comprehensive academic advising to our students. Advising is an ongoing developmental process, in which academic advisors partner with students and the university community to support students in attaining their goals.
