The Berea College Statement on Academic Advising
Academic advising is central to the educational mission of Berea College. Such advising is a deliberate activity grounded in teaching and learning, foundational in fostering student engagement in Berea's continuous learning environment, and provides each student with guidance for developing and achieving meaningful educational, professional, and personal goals. Advisors engage students in learning, labor, and service; promote students' academic success; and foster students' personal, ethical, and intellectual growth. Academic advising is a shared responsibility between students and their faculty advisors.
