What is Virtual Advising?
Virtual Advising through the Sociology Department is the newest way that we are reaching out to connect with our students. We want to be as accessible to you as possible and we recognize that you have a lot going on and you don’t always have time to come and see us in Bricker Hall, so Virtual Advising is a way we are using technology to quickly answer your questions. Remember, Virtual Advising is a great compliment to individual appointments and walk-ins, but it is not intended to replace face-to-face advising. Don't be a stranger - we still want to see you.
