Orientation and Student Advising Appointments

Meeting with your Honors advisor is intended to be a time where students begin to build a relationship with their advisor. To create a space for this relationship-building, the University Honors Program (UHP) is committed to providing an advising environment that allows the student to feel comfortable and empowered to share their aspirations, their academic successes, and their challenges in a safe environment where the conversation is driven by the student. As such, UHP encourages students to come to appointments without family members or friends. The program understands that this can be a big step for many, but feels it's an integral one in allowing students to take ownership of their experience at the University. Students can, of course, choose to share information with their support system after completion of any advising appointment if they wish.
