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

Faculty Advisors
Many freshmen and all other students are regularly advised
by full-time faculty members. The primary responsibility of
the advisor is to provide assistance and support that will
help students become successful college
graduates. Advising includes helping students set
educational and career goals, assisting students in 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. Advisors seek to serve as role
models for students while developing reciprocal professional
relationships with them.
