We will miss working with her and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors. Michelle's last day in the office will be September 28th. This change is UHPO staffing has required that we modify our advising for the time being, so we have created an new method for advising students interested in pursuing a health profession. Attached to this email is a flyer that lists how we are providing advising services moving forward. To summarize, we will be conducting group advising for specific populations and topics of discussion. Students will be required to sign-up for the group advising so we can track headcount.
