How can I get my first-year advisees to meet with me?
Strategies for getting students to come in vary. Some departments or schools within the university require that students meet with their advisors, sometimes even requiring students to get a signature from their advisor. Other units or individual advisors send out emails to students asking or inviting them to drop by. First-year workshops can require students to meet with their advisors. Some academic units use their orientation meetings to link students with their advisors or to schedule advising meetings during the first several weeks of the semester.
