A School Advisor (Mentor) is a faculty member, who assists a student with advice about his/her college career and subsequent education or career choices. Each semester, every undergraduate student in the School of Natural Sciences is expected to meet at least once with his/her School Advisor. Of course student may meet as many times as they wish. These meetings are NOT for scheduling and registration matters, which will be handled by the Advising Office in Robinson Hall. Advice about medical schools, dental schools, etc. should be obtained from the SONS pre-professional advisor, Dr. Leonida.
