Faculty & Department Advisors
Meeting with faculty in your department is integral to your success at UofL. Designated faculty members advise and mentor students as an important component of their teaching. By serving as guides and mentors, faculty provide effective direction so students can maximize their educational opportunities and make critical decisions regarding education, career, and life goals. Faculty mentor students to help them become responsible citizens of their profession and the global community. Faculty are the experts in their fields and should impart their knowledge of the discipline on students. Faculty set the standard for how students should engage with their department and the curriculum. Faculty help answer the question of how looking through the educational lens of their discipline will foster critical thought and complex problem-solving that will enable them to be successful in a global economy, no matter what they choose to pursue after graduation. The following list includes topic you should be discussing with your department (this is not an exhaustive list):
- Internships
- Research, Independent Study, and community opportunities
- Professional organizations
- How courses in the major align with your interests and goals
- Any major or supporting course substitutions
- Scholarships opportunities in the department and discipline
- Graduate programs
- Letters of recommendation
- Career opportunities in the field
