Advising

Advising takes place over two weeks (October 26-November 6) and culminates in registration, which begins on November 9). The purpose of advising is to help you get the most out of your college experience.

There are two types of advising “academic” and “mentoring. Academic advising is handled by Teresa Phimister. In Academic Advising you will receive:

Answers to questions about Gen Ed requirements

Assistance with understanding what you need to complete your degrees

Advice with who to contact about financial aid

Information about WSUV requirements

Mentoring is handled by Drs. Dene Grigar and John Barber. In Mentoring you will receive:

Advice about what courses to take for the DTC Major, Minor, or Concentration

Help with determining the best path to a particular career in digital media

Recommendations about graduate programs

Assistance with job placement and professional development

There are two approaches to advising: Group and Individual Mentoring. The Group Sessions are intended to help students with particular interests. This year, the sessions are organized in this way:

Monday, 10/26, 3:00-4:00                 Graduation                  Dene Grigar, John Barber VMMC 111

Wednesday, 10/ 28, Noon-1:00     Media Authoring             Dene Grigar, John Barber VMMC 111

Monday, 11/ 2, Noon-1:00                   Informatics                  John Barber, Greg Rose VMMC 111

Tuesday, 11/ 3, 9:00-10:00               Fine Arts                 Dene Grigar, Harrison Higgs VMMC 111

Students planning to graduate in the fall 2009 or spring 2010, for example, should attend the Group Session scheduled for 10/26. At that session, we will talk about the steps you must take in order to graduate, the senior seminar, preparation for the job market and graduate school.

Students interested in careers in web design, social media, media communications, videography, etc., should attend the session on 10/28 “Media Authoring,” while students interested in a career in networking, e-marketing, and database design should attend the session on 11/2 “Informatics.”

Finally, students who want to pursue a MFA in Fine Art or who want more information about careers in art, should attend the session on 11/3 “Fine Arts.”

Individual Mentoring is still an option. All students are assigned a mentor. If you do not know whom your mentor is, contact Teresa Phimister (tphimister@vancouver.wsu.edu) for the name of your Mentor. It will be either Dene Grigar or John Barber. You should then contact Dene Grigar (dgrigar@vancouver.wsu.edu) or John Barber (jfbarber@vancouver.wsu.edu) directly to make an appointment to see her or him.

The schedule of DTC courses are online at www.schedules.wsu.edu.

Group Advising is Coming!

DTC-ers who have been at WSUV for a while know the bi-yearly ritual that we lovingly call "Advising Week." Many of you who use to detest being forced to visit your advisor to get your registration hold released were pleasantly surprised to find out last spring that the university changed its strategy and no longer placed holds on registration if you did not get advised. All departments and programs in the College of Liberal Arts moved to "Group Advising." We have made some modifications to it based on the feedback you gave.

Advising is required of all WSUV students because it is an important way to get information about graduation, program requirements, career guidance, and make contact with your faculty.

Here is the Group Advising Schedule:

Monday, October 26, 3:00 to 4:00, Special Focus: Graduation, Dene Grigar, John Barber

Wednesday, October 28, Noon to 1:00, Special Focus: Careers, Dene Grigar, John Barber

Monday, November 2, Noon to 1:00, Special Focus: Careers in MIS, John Barber, Greg Rose

Tuesday, November 3, 9:00 to 10:00, Special Focus: Fine Arts, Dene Grigar, Harrison Higgs

Both Dene Grigar and John Barber will be available for individual appointments during advising week, October 26-November 6.
