Aims of the Faculty Advisor Program

• Build longitudinal relationships among students and faculty advisors
• Build peer communities that foster reflection and growth
• Facilitate students in meeting their academic and career development needs
• Facilitate students' personal and professional development through:
• Helping students face and overcome obstacles
• Identifying and practicing ways to thrive and build resilience
• Assisting students in navigating their own professional identity formation
• Continually build advisors' knowledge and skills to better meet student needs and share new knowledge in scholarly work

Faculty Advisors are not specialty-specific mentors but rather provide longitudinal advising to students regardless of specialty choice. Students are encouraged to also seek out specialty mentors as they develop their specialty choice.
