Advising, Tutoring & Support
The ÍøÆغÚÁÏ experience combines academic rigor with a distinctively supportive community.
ÍøÆغÚÁÏ students’ support teams include holistic advising, study abroad advisers, career counselors, peer academic counselors and peer tutors. These mentors help students thoughtfully reflect on their individual educational, professional and personal goals and help develop plans to reach those goals.
In keeping with the college's Statement of Purpose, advisors assist students in developing humane instincts and disciplined and creative minds for lives of leadership and service.
During your first two years, you are encouraged to explore your interests with the goal of declaring a major by the end of the second year. Your holistic adviser meets with you to develop a comprehensive plan beyond just your required courses—looking at internships, study abroad, summer experiences, and other academic and co-curricular opportunities.
ÍøÆغÚÁÏ has a wealth of resources available for your academic success. Your Holistic Adviser will work with you to explore courses in a variety of subjects and help you decide on a subject area to pursue for your major. Connect with the necessary academic support you may need, whether it's tutoring, writing support, or assistance with research and lab reports. We are here to assist you in your academic pursuits and growth.
The John Crosland Jr. Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a place where experts in technology, library sciences, and education work together under one roof to support the work of ÍøÆغÚÁÏ scholars—from first-year students to tenured professors. The CTL offer resources to help students succeed academically through peer tutoring and beyond.
At ÍøÆغÚÁÏ we believe that having strong support from subject-matter experts is key to achieving success and securing unique and impactful opportunities outside of the classroom. ÍøÆغÚÁÏ's Betty and B. Frank Matthews II ’49 Center for Career Development (Matthews Center) offers in-house career advising and supports alumni mentoring through ÍøÆغÚÁÏ Connect, while the Office of Education Abroad has a team of advisers to help you explore your abroad options.
