Academic Advisors

Undergraduate Advising Purpose

• Our mission is to support and inspire the development of Woodruff School undergraduate students.
• Our vision is that undergraduate academic advising in the Woodruff School will actively engage students in their educational experience so they can become independent, life-long learners who are innovative and contributing members in their larger community.
