Through individual, collaborative relationships with academic advisors, students are best able to define and implement sound educational plans that are consistent with their person values, goals and career plan.”
To provide a forum for discussion of academic advising policy, procedures and processes for faculty, advising administrators, enrollment services administrators, and student affairs administrators.
