These will be on Tuesday, 10/7, from 10:00-11:30AM in 356 Baker Center and on Thursday, 10/9, from 1:30-3:00PM in 229 Baker Center. I’ll review how to read DARS and will highlight similarities in DARS across colleges. Please come with your DARS-related questions. I’ll be glad to answer and explain.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, in two weeks I’ll offer general “Advising Prep” workshops on Tuesday, 10/14, from 10:00-11:30AM in 233 Baker Center and on Thursday, 10/6, from 1:30-3:00PM in 233 Baker Center. These will be catch-all sessions, so please bring any and all advising-related questions. No question is too big or too small. I want you to feel confident and comfortable as we begin advising season, so please make a point of joining me for the workshops as you are able.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, the University Academic Advising Council meets 2:00-4:00PM in 203 Baker Center (the Multicultural Center multipurpose room) on Wednesday, 10/15. This bi-annual meeting of the university academic advising community provides an excellent opportunity to stay abreast of curricular changes and other advising issues. Please make plans to join us if you can.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Greg</div><div><br></div><div><div>Greg Lester, Ph.D.</div>Assistant Dean, Advising and Student Services<div>Director, Ohio Fellows Program<br><div>
