Second-year students face many important choices, and many are
making these choices for themselves for the first time. They
benefit from offerings such as study abroad presentations, discussions
comparing the choice of a major to a choice of a career, and
understanding the value and benefits of a liberal arts education.
The Office of Undergraduate Education makes available academic
advisors and faculty members for formal and informal interactions.
Additionally, drop-in office hours are available in Woodruff
for students to receive academic advising, career-counseling,
and study-abroad assistance.

Faculty Dinner Night
Each dinner focuses on a theme or academic area. Past examples
include: Sciences and Pre-Med, Business and Economics, English
and Journalism, Social Sciences, and an International dinner.
Dinner invitations are extended to fifteen sophomore students,
five Emory faculty, and two academic advisors. The students
and faculty invited represent the academic focus area being
featured at the dinner. Informal interaction prior to the meal
occurs, and students and faculty are distributed evenly during
dinner to promote dialogue and questions regarding the dinner’s
academic focus and career options.

major. You'll learn about resources you can take advantage
of to make the best decision. As a part of the program, we

Academic Advising
Academic Advisors from the Office for Undergraduate Education
present programs on the deadlines for dropping, adding, and
swapping classes. These programs are designed to create awareness
about the deadlines, and to assist students with any academic
advising questions. The Academic Advisors demonstrate how to
reference each student’s “On-Line Degree Audit” to
be able to quickly assess degree requirements and course completions.
Assistance in academic support areas such as time management,
organizational skills, and study skills is also provided by
staff from the Learning Programs Office.
