What is your approach to advising?

Everyone comes into our office with similar questions, but very different circumstances. The best thing I can do to find out what advise is appropriate for the student is to listen with open ears and really engage in the students particular situation.

I am a proud San Diegan from Encinitas, CA but I love the city as well. I knew I wanted to come to Berkeley for the opportunity, the culture, and the school spirit!

Showing a student that they have more options than they originally thought possible.
