我们对学生的期望
While we are here to help you, we expect you to be a partner in this experience. 后 all, this is your education, it is ultimately your responsibility to make it your 自己的.
With that in mind, SOAR has certain expectations for our participants. 每一年, students are expected to sign a participation agreement with their SOAR advisor that outlines the different activities you will be expected to attend and how frequently. We also ask that you do the following:
You will have both a primary advisor in your college and a SOAR advisor. 期待你的到来 to meet with each of your advisors at least once each semester. 取决于你的 academic 程序, you may meet with your advisor more than once a semester. 你的顾问 does more than help you decide what classes to take. We can connect you with resources, help you find scholarship opportunities and be a friendly ear.
We can't help you with issues and concerns we aren't aware of. 和你的导师谈谈 about what's going on in your life so that we can help you find solutions and options. And it doesn't just need to be the troubling pieces; let us know about the good things so that we can celebrate with you.
You must read - not just check - your email. Pay attention to email messages not only from our office but from your professors and others at 博彩网址大全 and take action when needed.
