Academic Advising: The professional staff in Academic and Career Services assigns each entering student an advisor who helps the student select appropriate academic programs. Freshmen continue to work with this advisor until a major is declared when the student is assigned an advisor in the major area.
Career Development: Through Academic and Career Services, students may receive assistance with self-assessment, exploration of possible majors and careers, goal setting, and decision-making and job-seeking skills, such as resume writing and interviewing. Because initiative and motivation are key factors for career success, students are encouraged to take an active approach toward career preparation beginning their freshmen year.
Connections Program: A comprehensive program to support all freshmen as they make the transition to college life.
