Every first-year student has both a faculty and student advisor to guide them during their first year. These advisors can play an important role during the first months of school. Both the student and faculty advisors plan social gatherings for their first-year advisees. Together, first-year students and their student advisors might plan a pizza party, a picnic, or an evening at a Red Sox game. Your student advisor can offer advice on choosing courses, studying for and taking exams, organizing your time, choosing student organizations, and other aspects of your busy life as a law student.
Students meet their advisors during the first week of classes.
