Student success is at the center of everything we do in the Herbert College of Agriculture. We strive to empower, support, engage, educate, and connect our students through inclusive and holistic efforts.
How Advising Works in Herbert
Advising in Herbert is based upon a hybridized advising model that blends faculty mentoring and professional academic advising. Most departments in Herbert have a student success advisor and will also have faculty mentors. In those departments that do not have a student success advisor, the student will be assigned a faculty advisor.
