<\/p>\n\n\nOur department strives to empower all students with the information they need to make successful strides in the CSD major. We do this by providing personalized, comprehensive advisement through a three-step model.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0is\u00a0mandatory\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>that all students attend at least\u00a0one of these two meetings per academic year (Sep-June).<\/u>\u00a0Attendance will be taken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
NOTE: Two General Advisement meetings will be scheduled at the start of each Fall and Spring semester. Date\/times and zoom link will be emailed via the department.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Step #2:<\/strong>\u00a0Meet with your assigned CSD Advisor for a\u00a0Small Group Advisor Meeting.<\/em><\/p>\n
- \n
- Purpose<\/u>: To allow students to meet with their personal CSD advisor who will share their insights, advice, and guidance, and answer any CSD-related questions you may have as you move along in the major.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Step #3:<\/strong>\u00a0Schedule an\u00a0Individual Advisement Meeting<\/em>\u00a0with your assigned CSD advisor.<\/p>\n
