Advising, Mentoring and Colloquium
ADVISORS
The School of Nursing faculty advise and share their expertise with
doctoral students. Each student’s academic advisor helps that student
to become acquainted with faculty and other staff and gain familiarity
with University and community resources. If the academic advisor is
changed, the student must notify the original advisor in writing. The
Graduate Group in Nursing Chairperson also must be notified in writing.
The academic advisor must be a member of the Standing Faculty of the
School of Nursing.
MENTORS
The Doctoral Student Organization members volunteer to be mentors for
the incoming doctoral students. Matches are made based on a
variety of considerations including: research interest, full or part
time status, commuter/non-commuter, etc. International students
also receive and international student mentor who can assist with
transition issues.
