Our college would not have this reputation of wonderful advising without each of you. We have one more left this month and then three additional (potentially 4) in August (August 15 – International; Aug 16 and 20 – Freshmen). Potential session might occur on August 13. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>New transfer students will continue to complete their individual orientation throughout summer. As a reminder, refer them to schedule an appointment with a CAS advisor on the same day they schedule with you. They can schedule by calling 520-621-3616. This applies to the following majors: ASC, AGTE, ENVS, PLSC, SPS, MICR, NTRS and VSC. All other majors don’t forget to send Kristen or I the advising verification form to remove the student’s advising hold. It can be emailed, faxed to 520-621-8662, or submitted in person at Forbes 211. If emailed we just need to know the date you met or had a phone appointment with them. Thanks for your assistance!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You are also invited to “UA Clicks” which is a mandatory session for all new freshmen. It will take place on August 23 at 10:45 in Social Sciences Room 100. Right after the session (around 11:45) the CALS alumni office will host a welcome event. Free food and prizes will be available. We anticipate college clubs and organizations to be present as well. The location for the welcome event is still to be determined (most likely at the Forbes courtyard). Hopefully you can attend at least the welcome event to see your students right before the beginning of term. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On a second note, the <b>Fall 2013 Agvisor meeting dates</b> are below. The first meeting will be on the same day of the college “All Hands Meeting” which is why the meeting time for us will start later than usual. Lunch will be provided.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>August 22 – 12:00-2:00pm at Saguaro Hall 219<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>September 24 - 11-1 at McPark 202<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>October 22 – 11-1 at McPark 202<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>November 26 11-1 at McPark 202<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>December 10 (Retreat) 9-3 location TBD (McPark 202 will be the back up location)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Some of the agenda items we will cover at the first meeting include the on-line Academic Agreement (academic contract), Advisor Assignment UAccess feature, and on-line Degree Audit system to name a few.
