Resources in the Advising Office
The RCAS Advising Office is made up of a real team under the leadership of Dean Jeffrey Carlson, with Sister Melissa Waters, Angela Frazier, Robbi Byrdsong-Wright and Paul Rodriguez. Located in the Library Link and on the second floor of the Lewis Annex, students frequent both spots from their freshman or transfer years' SOAR Orientation on through to graduation. Approval for summer transfer courses is given here and application forms presented for various academic awards/honors. Letters of recommendation are frequently provided.
Academic and other kinds of advice are available from any member of the team, including strategies for academic success, and long-range make-up work after an illness or prolonged absence for another reason. Consultation regarding choice of major, changes of major, and the process toward an interdisciplinary major is offered as is advice about the fullest possible use of University services, from the Wellness Center to the Career and Internship Office, from the Study Abroad Office to University Ministry. All are welcome in the Advising Office at any time!
