Student success begins with academic advisors who get to know each of our students and provide personalized advising services from enrollment through graduation. Our advisors help students plan courses, discuss career options and pathways, work through challenges, answer questions, and ensure our students stay on track, often conferring and working with faculty.<\/p>\n

In recognition of a generous gift from Dr. Rita Patel Thakur, the College of Business established the Dr. Rita Patel Thakur Academic Advising Center in 2021 to provide academic advising to our undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students enrolled in programs at the La\u00a0Verne Campus. Academic Advisors in the Center also work closely with the\u00a0College of Business O\u2019Brien Career Center<\/a>\u00a0to help students connect with career planning, interview preparation, resume support, and placement opportunities.<\/p>\n
