L&S Honors Advising Team Update

L&S Honors Advising Team Update

The L&S Honors Program Advising Team is looking forward to working with all Honors students over the coming year. We specialize in helping Honors students navigate the many opportunities and challenges that occur along the journey to graduation, reflect on their experiences and develop plans to meet goals. As has been the case in previous years, the Advising Team is made up of Peer Advisors and Academic Advisors. We will be offering appointments, drop-in advising and responding to your questions via email throughout the school year. Interested in connecting with an academic advisor or learning more about our services? See our website.

At the end of last school year Jon Iftikar, who had been an L&S Honors Advisor for two years, left the Honors Program to complete his dissertation and PhD. Many of you have met and been advised by Jon over this time period and, like the Advising Team, I’m sure that you appreciated and will miss his caring nature, sense of humor and sage advise. We wish Jon well as he works to complete his degree! Be sure to say hello and thank you to him when you see him on campus.

Nick Strohl, a graduate student in History and Education Policy Studies, joined the L&S Honors Advising Team in late May. Nick is an experienced educator and has hit the ground running in his new position, already confidently communicating various requirements and opportunities to incoming Honors students during summer SOAR. To read more about Nick’s background, hobbies and interests, check out Nick's Bio and say hello to him next time you’re in the Washburn Observatory. We’re all thrill to have him join the team.

Our three Honors Peer Advisors, Louisa, Marie and Caitlin, will be staffing many drop-in shifts, working at various events and answering your emails and phone calls alongside the Academic Advisors this school year. They have different backgrounds, interests and goals for the future, but they are united in their love for coffee and helping other Honors students get their questions answered.

The L&S Honors Program Advising Team wishes you well as the school year gets underway. We will look forward to seeing you and hearing from you in the coming weeks and months.
