[Advising] FW: University College Sophomore Assembly Student Panel Remarks - Advising Accolades

Good afternoon all, I just received and wanted to share this email with you. Hope you will remember this as you reflect on the impact you are making on students. Have a good evening, Barbara From: Tammy Wyatt Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2015 4:16 PM To: Barbara Smith <Barbara.Smith(a)utsa.edu&gt; Subject: University College Sophomore Assembly Student Panel Remarks - Advising Accolades Barbara, Today we hosted the University College Sophomore Welcome Assembly. At the event we had a student panel of upperclassmen discussing student success strategies and advice for 2nd year students. We had 9 upperclassmen majoring in public health, MDST, sciences (pre-health professions), a student worker from the Writing Center majoring in English, and a few business students (pre-law). All 9 student panelists spoke very highly of academic advising and strongly encouraged/advised the students to meet regularly with their academic advisor (at least once per semester if not more). They all talked about the relationships they have built with their advisors and how critical their academic advisor is to their academic success. I thought you would want to know.
