What does my advisor do?
Your advisor can help you with almost everything. If you're having trouble with a class, professor, project, or anything academic-related, they are there to help. They can help you plan your schedule, give you tips about freshman year, advise you on your course load, and put you in touch with other administrators who can help you with specific requests. They're also available just to talk if you need it. If you decide you want to change your major or need help getting into a required class, your advisor can be a great resource. Ask soon rather than later-- they are always happy to help!
