Your advisor is a “facilitator,” here to help you identify and make meaning of options, obligations, and opportunities that can help you reach your goals.
Your Academic Advisor works in partnership with you. They help you to tend to the logistics of getting your degree (course selection and auditing your progress), maximize your educational experience (integration into campus and academic culture, supplementing your classroom experiences with learning outside of the classroom, pursuing support for academic success) and set the stage for life after your undergraduate degree (career planning, preparing for graduate/professional school)
