| STUDENT ADVISING AND FIRST-YEAR TUTORIAL |
| |
|
The director of the master’s program will serve as the student’s academic advisor. In order to develop a sense of identity and cohort, the program requires a first-year tutorial in which students meet with the director of the program once per month to: discuss curriculum from the students’ courses to integrate the material with the focus of the master’s program, discuss progress in the program, and discuss program and career goals.
Thetutorial will also include invited speakers from the non-profit, professional, business, and government sectors to discuss career opportunities. Through these tutorials, students will gain valuable professional development experience by contributing to the planning and implementation of the annual symposium, where they will interact with scholars, policy makers, and socialthinkers, assist in the development of speaker panels,and complete background research on relevant topics.
Second year students will also meet with the director of the master’s program at least once per semester to discussissues related to academic advising and career development.
