Students have an opportunity for a personal faculty advisor, a professional counselor, chaplain, or a corporate manager to act on their behalf as circumstances may require. Foundation Advisors All new students are assigned a volunteer Kettering academic advisor prior to their arrival on campus. The mission of the Foundations Program is to guide freshmen and transfer students in the clarification of their academic goals and in the development of educational plans and skills necessary for realizing those goals. The Academic Services Staff provides advisor orientation support and matches students with advisors. Sophomores, juniors and seniors are assigned faculty curriculum advisors within their degree department.
