学术顾问
学术 advising is a process in which the student 和 the advisor work collaboratively to set individual objectives for the student’s college experience. Whether the goal is to earn a degree, 证书, transfer to another institution, 或者只上几节课, the advisor will assist in developing a plan to achieve that goal.
