CARES Advising
Students are able to receive services by visiting the CARES office or contacting their CARES program advisor.
CARES provides one-on-one and group advising aimed at providing resources to support students’ academic, career, and social-emotional goals. Individual advising appointments typically last 30 minutes and focus on holistic supports 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
- Social-emotional and mental health supports
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.
