The Wharton School Faculty play no formal role in Wharton's New Student Advising Program. Encourage faculty who are interested to offer one or two hours a week of walk-in appointments for advising. The Nursing School, based in part on its small community, does a better job than most Schools at meeting the advising needs of its students. Students are assigned an advisor as freshman. Each advisor has eight students.
Students attend required advising sessions.
All advisors are faculty members. The advising system seems to work particularly well.
