Laura M. Wight, Assistant Professor Reference Librarian, Instruction Coordinator Advising - Advisees may also contact me at my home phone number (605)691-1170(Please no calls after 10:00 p.m.). Welcome! I have served as an academic advisor through the College of General Studies and Outreach programs for eight years. This interesting and rewarding role allows me to build unique relationships with undergraduate students at SDSU. I look forward to meeting you and to an engaging experience! We can meet as many times as you would like throughout the year. At minimum, we will meet to discuss your semester progress and planning for the following semester. In addition, if you receive midterm deficiencies or are put on probation, we will need to meet very regularly. Please see my home page for contact info.
The initial meeting: When you arrive on campus, please stop by my office, call or e-mail me to introduce yourself. I am here as a resource for you and look forward to getting to know you. Our first meeting is a mutual "get to know you" session and is also a chance for me to assist you in getting to know the University and community. We will discuss your academic and personal goals, and the University General Education requirements as well as other courses or areas of interest. Please plan to bring any questions or concerns you have.
Meetings to Plan Coursework for Subsequent Semesters: Typically, in November (planning for Spring) and April (planning for the next Fall), we will meet to discuss your progress and to choose courses for the next semester. Prior to this meeting, please examine the schedule of courses for the next semester to get an idea of the classes you might like to take. Your SDSU Bulletin also indicates the courses required for different majors/minors on campus.
