The mission of the Center for Exploring Majors is to provide academic services that enhance the connection between students and the university. To meet the needs of our ever-changing students, we strive to be knowledgeable, collaborative, and student-centered in all that we do.聽
As academic advisors and classroom instructors, we support the university鈥檚 mission to help students live wisely and to develop and achieve their personal, educational, and life goals.聽 Creating a diverse and welcoming environment is also paramount to our work.聽
Finally, we aim to serve as a resource to others in the university community and promote the importance of academic advising as a vital component of a student鈥檚 university experience.
We advise:
