Advisors for Undergraduate Students
Academic Services Coordinator:
Madalyn Eglian
Academic Services Coordinator
New Students: You are not formally assigned an advisor until we receive information on you from
the Registrar's Office or until you contact the Ecology Department. All students will
be assigned a faculty advisor within their first semester, before registration for
the next semester opens.
Freshman and Transfer Students: All first-time freshman and transfer students must meet with Elizabeth Donald, Natural
Sciences Academic Advisor in the College of Letters and Science, before they may register.
Schedule an appointment.
Appointments: Our faculty advisors are happy to speak with you without an appointment during their office hours. However, if office hours are not compatible with your schedule, please contact your advisor directly via phone or email to set up a time convenient for both of you.
