Efforts include hiring more professional academic counselors, grouping counselors by disciplines to concentrate on specific majors, and using technology to connect directly with the University Registrar and Admissions and Financial Aid offices. Dean Bobby Moser and Associate Dean L.H. Newcomb of the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, explained how the college's advising system differs from the rest of the university. The college's faculty have a long-standing commitment to personally advising their undergraduates, Moser said, and so students are assigned a faculty adviser when they are admitted. Enrollment is small enough that the 80 faculty members can directly counsel 15 students each, meeting two times each quarter. College counselors are available one evening a week in the halls.
