Introductory Call

Advising Meetings
-
Regular meetings will be set between the student and the advisor, alternating between the university advisor and personal coach, depending on the topic.

Following each meeting, parents and students will receive an email summarizing the discussion and outlining tasks or considerations for the student.

Parents and students are encouraged to call or email anytime with questions/concerns, or to share updates and information.

Parents play an essential role in this process and may be asked to provide insights or attend specific meetings.
