Advising and Faculty Mentoring

Success From Day One

The Greenlee School supports you with the resources you need to succeed at school and beyond. Majors in advertising, journalism and mass communication, and public relations are assigned both a professional academic advisor and a faculty mentor from their first day at Greenlee.


Academic Advising

Your time at Greenlee starts with guidance from a professional academic advisor who can guide you on course choices, scholarships and financial support issues, and help you progress  through your academic career. You will be assigned an academic advisor based on the first letter of your last name.

Advising Syllabus

Advising is not a one-sided process. Students are just as much responsible for their academic advising as professional and faculty advisers. The Greenlee Advising Syllabus contains learning outcomes, resources and expectations, and it will guide you through the process of learning through advising. All students will be asked to meet the expectations outlined in the syllabus.
