When you arrive for orientation, you will be assigned to a faculty adviser who will help you in making any necessary adjustments to your schedule.  But the desirability of having a preliminary schedule means that you are putting together that schedule without an adviser, based on information on these web pages.

Help is available, however, if you cannot find on these pages answers to what you need.  Several experienced faculty advisers will be available during June for e-mailed questions or to return telephoned inquiries as soon as possible.   (The use of e-mail, which we particularly encourage, should be especially helpful to students who work during the day, freeing them of the need to relay their questions through parents.)  Please consult them if you have problems -- but first, please consult the page of the most frequent questions that arise. Your answer may well be there.

Our volunteer summer advisers are chosen for general knowledge of the curriculum and of the needs of first-year students.  Please do not assume you need to find an adviser in your probable major department or one relating directly to your professional aspirations.  The first semester isn't really about your major; it is principally about general graudation requirements applicable to all possible majors. 

Below you will find   a list of faculty members from a variety of disciplines who have volunteered to be available for help during June.  Email is best; summertime office hours often are erratic, with time more likely being spent in labs or libraries.  In addition, departmental pages often have email addresses suitable for students with specific inquiries relative to one department.
