Freshman Faculty Adviser
Your residential college dean will assign you a freshman faculty adviser who can offer general advice about academic goals and course selection. On the Tuesday before classes begin you will meet your freshman Your assigned freshman faculty adviser is someone you can approach for general advice and for discussion of your educational goals, whether or not this adviser specializes in a field you are interested in pursuing. No one person can be familiar with all details of the entire curriculum, but your freshman faculty adviser will usually know where to find answers to your questions about courses or majors. As you develop your program of study during freshman year, your adviser can continue to be a conversation partner. Old Campus fellows are Yale faculty or staff members who live in apartments on the Old Campus. Old Campus fellows provide supplemental oversight and support for students and regularly organize events that introduce freshmen to various Yale College resources, including academic tutoring, premedical planning, advice about summer jobs and internships, and programs for study abroad. |
