The academic and social support that begins at New Student Orientation continues when the student arrives for 1st Weekend and remains in place for the entire academic year. The Office of the Assistant Dean for Freshmen coordinates this support and acts as a liaison between students, parents, academic ad visors, faculty, academic support personnel, and administrative staff. The freshman dean and the student s academic advisor work together to provide guidance to the first year student as he or she begins to adjust to new class expectations and to clarify personal academic and career goals. The Office of the Assistant Dean for Freshmen is located in Rooms 208-210, Long Hall. The office of the ADF is a resource for students and families at all times.
Good communication reduces problems and resolves issues.
