First Year Advisors
Your first year advisor is your advisor from the time you start classes, until you declare your major and are assigned a faculty advisor. Your first year advisor may be a faculty member teaching your FYS, or one of the full time staff dedicated to advising! This person is different from the one who advised you at Flock Together, but both are very important, and dedicated to helping you identify and reach our goals during your time at WAC and beyond!
