Academic advising for students in
What can your Advisor do for you?
The Academic Advisor for most Majors under the Bachelor of Science (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences) is Dr. Julie Major.
I can help you with a wide range of questions and issues including program selection; transferring from other programs or institutions; choosing courses; dealing with academic impacts of health or personal issues; tailoring your program to your goals and objectives; integrating research, exchanges and field studies into your program; administrative changes to your academic record, and more. If I can't help you with your question myself, I can direct you to someone who will.
My office is a safe space where you are welcome to discuss anything confidentially, including gender and cultural identity, disability, mental and physical health, and sexual orientation. I am happy to advise in English, français, español, ou Português.
