Faculty Advising

Good Advising is Important

Students may create strong bonds with you as a teacher and researcher, but only through advising will you be able to form a relationship that lasts a student’s full career at ESU. A student’s potential for success — doing well in classes, moving through a program smoothly, graduating on time — is dramatically increased if the student can develop a solid interpersonal relationship with you as an advisor.
