How can advisers help me prepare for a professional career?

Attending second year advising gave me a direction. I was very unsure of what credits and classes I should be taking and why. After seeing my adviser I was well informed of what I should think about during my experience at UW. My adviser contacted me by phone and email before sophomore year, which really encouraged me to come into the Gateway Center. I strongly encourage incoming students to take advantage of this program that can help give them greater knowledge of opportunities at UW.
