 This site is intended as a
resource for you in advising first-year students. It includes some basic
information that you may not have at your finger tips and that may be helpful
in answering specific questions. It includes course recommendations appropriate
to first-year students for every department and program on campus, and listing
for the phone-bank of representative faculty from every department and program
who will be available to answer questions that may come up during your
conversation with an advisee.
It is appropriate to spend about 30 minutes with each of your advisees. Your
advisee is expected and has been instructed to come prepared to this meeting.
You are not expected to know about the entire curriculum, about every course of
study, or the answer to every question. We have provided some materials here to
help answer these questions if they come up in a meeting. We do ask that you
review
basic requirements with your advisees. (See list of things to cover during
first,
second, and
third meetings.) That said, you will be most helpful to your advisees if
you can engage them in a larger discussion of their aims for their Dartmouth
experience, and if you can show them how one might connect individual decisions
about academic and curricular choices with their larger academic and life
goals. You are not there to make decisions for your advisees, and it must be
clear to them that ultimately their decisions are their own. But we hope you
can participate in the process and help them see some of the various
implications of their decision making.
