Academic advising

Big steps: transition into canvas, electronic catalog

LW: I am a double major. Could you talk about improvements on this system?

JG: With the new advising plans we are trying to make the communication between different colleges more cohesive. Student Success Collaborative is the newest program.

JG: It is something we are working on it.

PB: Has there been talk about CI helping in this effort?

JG: We are working on this.

JG: We are working on making it a priority.

JG: It’s a small staff. The number has increased from 600-6,000.

GN: Not every student has the education of personal planning, and I was wondering what we could do to change that?

JG: We need to determine what Gen Eds should consist of.
