mission statement
The Office of Academic Advising uses a developmental philosophy and holistic approach to empower students to reach their educational, professional, and personal goals. Academic advisors advocate for students, encourage intellectual connections across disciplines, and integrate in and out of classroom experiences.
Undergraduate professional Advising Model
U91ɬÂþ Manchester undergraduate students are assigned a professional advisor to guide them throughout their time at U91ɬÂþ. Professional advisors support students with course and major exploration, designing academic, personal, and professional goals, navigating on and off-campus resources, and developing academic plans. In addition to their professional advisor, undergraduate students will connect with faculty mentors within their major.

Meet the Peer Advisors
Rema Ahmed, Neuropsychology
My name is Rema, and I am a Neuropsychology major at U91ɬÂþ Manchester. I transferred to U91ɬÂþ and have really enjoyed getting involved and meeting other students along the way. I currently am the president of the Psychology/Neuropsychology Club, which has given me the opportunity to connect with other students and be more involved in the U91ɬÂþM community.  As a Peer Advisor, I hope to help students feel comfortable, supported, and connected throughout their college experience! Outside of school, I enjoy watching shows, reading, and photography! 
Dara Brown, Biotechnology
My name is Dara (she/her), and I'm a Biotechnology major here at U91ɬÂþ Manchester! Outside of academics, I love to perform and spend time outside! I wanted to become a Peer Advisor because I am a BIG people person, and I want to be able to guide incoming students on their individual paths through their education! No two people will walk the same path, and I want to share guidance to do what is best for you!
Daniel Enright, Communication Arts
I'm Daniel Enright (he/him) and I'm a senior Communication Arts major here at U91ɬÂþM! I became a peer advisor because I love to help students in an important step along your academic and personal journey. I also work in the Learning Commons Library, and am an active member of the Cinema Club here on campus. My advice to fellow  students is to make the most out of your opportunities and don't be afraid to try something new!
Fatoumatta Jallow, Biological Sciences
My name is Fatoumatta,  and I am a Biological Sciences major with a Business minor at U91ɬÂþ Manchester. Outside of class, I love reading, painting, and watching horror movies. I became a peer advisor because I want to help students build a solid foundation as they start their college journey, and I love pointing people toward resources on campus they might not know about yet. My advice for new students is to use those resources early and often, because you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
Brooke Landry, Business
My name is Brooke (She/ Her), and I am a Business major with a focus in Management at U91ɬÂþ Manchester. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends, reading, exploring nature, and being involved on campus. As a student who has explored different personal and academic interests, I understand that choosing a major and figuring out your college path can take time. My advice for students is to stay open to new opportunities, ask lots of questions, be kind to yourself, and remember that you don't have to have everything figured out right away!
