The advisors efficiency is noticeable, Kyomi Kojima, Japan senior, said. I remember a few years back, it took them about three days to get my documents done, Kojima said. Now, it only takes them a day. In addition, the office has a conference room to provide privacy for international students. Sometimes it s better to sit on the sofa and talk, rather than sitting across from the desk, Connelly said.
Students feels more at ease.
The latest addition to the advising office, Leslie Moran, joined during last fall. In addition to administrative tasks, Moran is responsible for the process of waiving NT s charge for mandatory health insurance if the student proves he or she has comparable coverage. The advisors said that helping students is what makes them get up each morning to go to work. The most rewarding thing about my job is the students, Horton said. The students I meet add spice and enrich my life.
