Meet the Deans

advising staff members

Class Deans

The Class Deans work closely together to provide strong individualized advising to students, and we collaborate with faculty advisors and staff members from many other offices across the College to help make sure all of our students have the support they need to realize their goals.  Students are welcome to visit our offices on the second floor of the Schneider Center during drop-in times for quick questions, or they can schedule an appointment following the links to the right. Students can also email their Class Dean directly at any time to set up a meeting.
