Advising

Freshman Advisers
Lindsey Wilson provides a staff of four full-time Freshman Advisors to work with freshmen during their first year in college. The Freshman Advisers are also located in Everett Hall.   Freshmen are assigned to a Freshman Advisor or to a faculty advisor.  Freshman Advisors teach many of the Freshman Seminar classes, monitor class attendance and academic performance, coordinate study halls, evaluate testing results, conduct periodic surveys of student needs, participate in campus social activities with freshmen, assist students with course selection and registration, and meet regularly with their advisees.  See Freshman Year Experience for additional information.

Faculty Advisers
Many freshmen and all other students are regularly advised by full-time faculty members. The primary responsibility of the adviser is to provide assistance and support that will help students become successful college graduates.  Advising can take many forms:  Goal setting -- for educational and career goals, and understanding the culture and expectations of the college; Providing support in planning a program consistent with a student's interests and abilities, monitoring academic progress, and integrating the resources of the institution to help an advisee succeed; Interaction -- both inside and outside of the classroom are opportunties to develop a reciprocal professional relationship; and Role Modeling -- faculty serve as model professionals in their disciplines and as advocates for students.
