Honors Academic Mentoring
Students at Appalachian have access to many resources to help them plan for their next semester and their future. The Career Development Center is available to help students identify their goals and develop strategies for professional success.
For those students planning careers in the health professions, the Health Professions Advising Office helps direct and prepare students for the many opportunities in that area; the Pre-medical Advising Committee coordinated by this office, in particular, offers guidance on personal statements, application completion, and the all-important interviews.
For Honors students, there is the additional benefit of personalized, academic mentoring by the faculty and professional advisors of the Heltzer Honors Program staff. Through regular meetings with their Honors mentor, honors students have the chance to discuss course registration plans with someone who gets to know them, and helps them plan a curricular path leading to their professional and personal goals. For Honors students, advising is not just about completing a degree, but realizing a dream.
Current students (sophomores-seniors) interested in honors specific advising can meet with their respective honors advisor:
