Making the Most of An Advising Appointment
Each student at Richmond should feel confident that their advisor is willing to provide support, encouragement, and referral to appropriate resources whenever needs arise.
The AARC works to provide faculty and staff advisors with all the tools they need to be effective advisors under a developmental model. Resources included in this section are intended to help advisors improve the meetings they hold with their advisees.
