Take the Initiative!
Show us your face! Faculty advisors are here to help you navigate your academic career,
but they cannot help you if they do not see you. Make it a point to meet with your faculty
advisor regularly. (We suggest at least once per semester). Your advisor can be a
valuable source of information and support and can play an important role by providing
you with a recommendation for graduate school or a job.
It is usually easiest to schedule an appointment with your advisor via email.
If you do not know your faculty advisor, you can find out by contacting Theresa Kurutz

Be Prepared!
Once you've scheduled a meeting with your advisor, be sure to bring a copy of your
academic audit with you. (Click here to download your audit).
Think about your goals.
What do you want out of your career? What are your goals for life?
Take the long view.
Think about how you can strategically plan to realize those goals.
You may be able to plan your extra-curricular time to help meet your goals.
For example, you could do an internship, participate in research,
or volunteer at a local organization.
Come to meetings with your faculty advisor with a list of your questions and concerns.
