Undergraduate Advisement

The Biology Advisors believe that we are partners with our students. Together we embark on an educational journey in which we are the navigators and students are the drivers. We educate our students on pathways to degrees. We expose our students to strategies, tools and resources that support their progress. We offer enhancement opportunities by connecting the students with their department and other resources.

WE ADVISE, YOU DECIDE! We do not choose for our students. You make all final decisions, but we are here to support you in whatever way we can.

Your Biology Advisors:

Denise (Dee) Garcia
