Your academic advisor is an important resource—a person who will assist you with creating your program of study, clarifying programmatic policies and procedures, coordinating and collaborating with you on research, and eventually assisting you with career decisions. You are strongly encouraged to meet with your advisor prior to beginning your coursework and throughout your program.
