I know that I can always make an appointment with or email my adviser if I come across a studying difficulty in a class, have a question about academics, or want to discuss 'why' I am here, taking the classes I am taking, and 'what' it means. My adviser knows how I am different from someone else, and advises me in terms of my interests, my personality, and my goals.

Undergraduate academic advising at the University of Washington is a core element of the University's focus on student learning.

As educators, advisers partner with faculty and the campus community to cultivate our students' intellectual development.

As guides and advocates, advisers collaborate with students to craft a transformative educational experience so that they may become informed, articulate and thoughtful students of the University and citizens of the world.
