In my role as an academic advisor, I provide graduate students with pathways to navigate through the academic and systemic structures of the University of Montana. I meet with students to schedule courses and create degree plans and provide information and instruction on how to move through their academic career. through my role I foster relationships with students and seek to provide them assistance to be the most successful they can be as a student and individual. The College of Business at the University of Montana is a special place focused on making students feel engaged, supported and connected. Students receive access to opportunities that enhance their educational experience, such as experiential learning opportunities, study abroad programs and sought-after internships. The UM difference means the faculty and staff in the College of Business will help students get the tools, skills, industry connections and mentoring they need to leverage all those opportunities to meet their personal and professional goals.
