The role requires a daily willingness to review students' individual situations to determine optimal solutions and to adjudicate student's requests to waive policy. This requires the advisor to have the ability to counsel students against a particular course of action, even if doing so will not always be well received by the student.

  • Encourage, motivate, and guide students towards the successful completion of their program or academic goals.
  • Meet department expectations and service level agreements around delivering adequate and timely service to students
  • Continuously reviews processes and policies and recommends improvements or changes when necessary.
