<p class="MsoNormal">President Hart has indicated that student advising is an important component in serving our students as we move forward with the Enterprise plan. Dean Burgess also has expressed that he thinks student advising extremely important and a
priority for CALS. Since we have several new interim Unit Heads, I thought it might be helpful for you to have the following information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We greatly value our students and advisors in CALS. The general student to advisor ratio for the university is 400:1. Our goal as a College is to stay at or below this ratio. As you plan how you will best meet your unit’s needs please
consider student advising in your plans. At this time, we have two full time advisors within CAS who advise students, conduct all of our new student orientations, deal with issues of student retention, work one-on-one with our students who are on academic
probation, assist transfer students and support our unit advisors. Our College advisors meet monthly with the unit advisors during the academic year to keep them informed on University and College policies and practices. The college has been successful in
having representation from all CALS units at the advisor monthly meetings, and we would like to maintain this great collaboration. Herewith is a listing of the designated advisors for our programs. If you make changes in your units with regards to your advisor,
then please let our office know who will participate in the monthly advisor meetings and to whom we can refer interested students. Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of our students and advisors.<o:p></o:p></p>
