Each professional class will be assigned a faculty class advisor. This class advisor will be actively involved in P1 Orientation and should actively promote professionalism within the class. The class advisor should also serve as a problem solver for the class. The advisor may meet with class officers to plan class events such as community outreach activities. The faculty advisor follows the class throughout their academic career in the College of Pharmacy. The class advisors are appointed by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and approved by the chair of the faculty member’s department.

College of Pharmacy faculty, preceptors and alumni will be encouraged to serve as career mentors. Career mentors serve as a contact person and career advisor to aid students in exploring the various career paths available upon graduation. Students are encouraged to seek out career mentors in their area(s) of interest as they begin to develop their professional network. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs will develop and maintain a current list of career mentors available in electronic format to students.

Each year, sessions will be scheduled with combination degree coordinators to showcase College of Pharmacy combination degree options.  Information regarding College of Pharmacy tracks, combination degrees, and elective options will be made readily available to students.  Course coordinators, teaching faculty, the faculty class advisor, the College of Pharmacy Academic Success Coach, the Senior Associate Dean and the Associate Dean for Student Affairs will be available to provide support to students if academic advice or additional student support is requested by the student.
