CARES First Gen Advising
Students are able to receive services by visiting the CARES First Gen office or contacting their CARES First Gen program advisor.
CARES First Gen provides one-on-one and group advising aimed at providing resources and supporting students with their academic, social, and professional goals. Individual advising appointments typically last 30 minutes and focus on guided support for where the individual is at in their unique college journey. Common topics include:
- Academic progress
- Selecting a major
- Tutoring and academic support resources
- Career preparation
- Research and internship opportunities
- Getting involved on campus
- Navigating personal circumstances
In addition, first and second-year students are invited to attend group advising sessions. These one-hour meetings focus on common issues facing students and where to find supports on campus.
