Advising and counseling in the College of Human Ecology is carried out by faculty advisors associated with each of the majors, and by college counselors in the Office of Student and Career Development, 172 MVR.
The roles of advisors and counselors often overlap and students should use both resources to best serve their needs. Faculty advisors are often the first faculty that students meet on a personal basis. They can help you choose courses, identify research opportunities, and assist with issues pertaining to their fields of study.
If you find it's necessary to change faculty advisors, simply request a new assignment from your department's Director of Undergraduate Study (DUS).

Remember that graduate school applications require letters of recommendation and building strong relationships with college faculty is one of the best ways to prepare for recommendation letter requests. Appointments can be made with faculty advisors by going to office hours or contacting faculty directly through email.
Counselors in the office of Student and Career Development can help students explore and define personal, academic, and career goals; obtain an overview of college and university programs; become informed about college policies and graduation requirements; and identify resources for academic and career planning.
Appointments with counselors can be made by calling (607) 255-2532 or stopping by 172 MVR.
