What We Do

Your Assistant Director of First-Year Success, or “AD,” is here to assist you throughout your first year of college.  

They provide holistic advising and general support, which means you can ask them about anything from where to get a winter coat to how you can do research with a faculty member.

Your AD can provide academic coaching and help with goal setting, study skills, and time management.  

Feeling lonely? Your Assistant Director would love to connect with you, and they can provide practical advice about how to get involved and make friends.  

If you have a question and you’re not sure who to ask, your AD can help you, or they can connect you to the right person or office.
