Our College of Arts & Sciences Advising Commons, located on the second floor of CAS building 1, provides a space for students and advisors to interact through both informal, drop-in conversations as well as organized virtual and in-person events, and private appointments.
The Advising Commons will serve as your central destination for matters regarding your academic, co-curricular, and career planning as a CAS student, a process we call 360 Degree Advising.
The Advising Commons offers drop-in academic and career advising, scheduled one-to-one appointments, live and online workshops and skills training, and employer connections for CAS students, alumni, and faculty.
