PREPARE for your advisement meeting (Important)
Do your best to prepare a draft plan - your advisor will expect that you have done this before you meet, with the understanding that your plan may not be perfect. Bring this plan, along with any questions you have, to your advisement meeting. This is a learning process and your advisor is there to help! If you need help drafting a plan, attend a Get Connected Session with your success navigator.
