NEW SPRING 2023 Introducing our UGS Peer Advisor, Emily Gatrell (she/her/hers)

Hi! My name is Emily, over the past two summers I have helped the Engineering academic advisors during New Student Orientation (NSO). During this time, I helped students build their class schedules and work through any challenges that they may have when working in the Student Information System (SIS). Additionally, I have been helping in the Advising Center in Wilson Hall where I have been helping students work through time management challenges they may be having, by giving tips that helped me when I was taking the same classes. As a peer advisor, my hope is to help students answer questions that they may be having about classes, the transition to college, and college life.

Topics I can help with:

• Looking for Off-Campus Housing
• Questions about how a class is run/syllabus questions
• Troubleshooting class/group or roommate issues
• How to get in contact with CAPS/mental health services
• Navigating college, majors and minors - Ex) Interested in a minor but not sure and just need someone to bounce ideas off of

Follow this link to login and view times you may connect with me for peer advising.

For questions on Academic Status (Good Standing, Academic Probation, Recess, Dismissal) please contact Erica Weeks, Director of Advising, at fiaskye@msu.edu.

We suggest that you meet with your advisor regularly, at least once a semester, to receive assistance with major selection, schedule planning, utilizing MSU resources, career planning and much more!  Anytime you may have an academic question you should contact your advisor, while some questions can be handled by email, many issues benefit from a face-to-face conversation.

Before visiting your advisor, you should:

• Reflect on how you are doing in your classes.
• Review the degree program requirements for the majors that interest you.
• Think about any questions you might have about your major, the College of Engineering, or the university.
• During annual enrollment (in the spring) think about classes you might be interested in taking during the summer and next year.

Your advisor is assigned to you based on your major and class standing (first-year, sophomore, junior, senior). If you're a member of the Honors College, you will have a specific advisor for that program in addition to your College of Engineering advisor.
