At the Mount, we see advising as a form of teaching. That is why each Mount student is paired with one of their professors for advising. Beyond the formal matters of approving course schedules and monitoring your academic progress, your faculty advisor has probably already had you in their class, so they really get to know you, your interests and goals, and dreams for the future.
Earning stellar grades is quite an accomplishment and we believe you should be honored for it. Not only will we do everything possible to help you maximize your academic potential, but once you reach that elite level we want to ensure you receive adequate recognition.
