Tips from the Advisers
Revised by Therese Devine, Academic Adviser
Psychological Sciences Student Community

As students, you commit many hours to classes, assignments, and perhaps work too.  You’ve received great privilege to be here, at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. 

*How are your studies making an impact… for you and others? 
*Are you aware of the talents and skills within you?   

Perhaps you’ve already thought about the real purpose of what you’re studying, or perhaps you have not yet clearly looked into objectives, goals, or dreams.  Know that each day has a purpose, and you’re not here in class randomly. Whether the semester seems challenging, exciting, or dry… your academic adviser wants you to gain and give from your new knowledge and experiences. They are ready to help you think though what matters to you, and to equip you with resources for success. Contact your adviser today, for a Walk-in or appointment! Talk with your TA, or professor too!

Take this opportunity to choose to make a difference.  Your voice counts.  Make a choice to set aside a few hours and really explore how your studies prepare you to make an impact.  Begin today.  Browse here.
