Spring advising

27 October 2022: I know I have posted about this before (and recently!), but advising started today and I got to sit with a transfer student (and new-to-me advisee) and help her see how she can graduate on time. It's so cool to see them relax and see how everything is manageable. With patience and clarity, you get to demystify the process. 

"Are you feeling better yet?" I asked her about half-way through. "Yes, I think so..."

And when we were done, with three semesters mapped out and instructions for who she needed to talk to in other departments, I asked her, "How are you feeling now?" 

"So much better. Thank you!"

Shew, that's the STUFF!
