Advising

Who are the Psychology advisors?

Psychology Advisors assist the Advising Services Coordinator with the academic advising of all Psychology majors, Psychology minors, and Family Studies minors. Psychology Advisors hold regular office hours during the Fall and Spring semesters, provide support to students via email, and also aid in planning events to foster connectedness between students and psychology faculty.
