Meet Our Advisers

Did you know that one of our academic adviser’s sons was the drum major in the Penn State Blue Band for three years? Or that another of our advisers is a member of the Oglala Lakota Tribes of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota? Click on your adviser’s name to learn more about your adviser!

If you don’t think you’ve been assigned an academic adviser, please email the advising department so that we can get you connected. The relationship you will form with your adviser will be critical to your success!

Tip: Your adviser will share online resources with you, so it is helpful for you to be at a computer while you talk.
