From the Executive Director
The academic advising process is one in which, when you reflect upon your college career, you will give very little thought. However, believe it or not, the one-on-one sessions you have with your advisor are the most valuable and life-changing events in your life.
At Old Dominion University, the academic advising program is designed to teach you how to explore your academic and career options, examine your strengths, and set goals that will carry you throughout your lifetime. Your advising sessions are a chance to discuss these areas in your life with someone who knows a thing or two about exploring a major, examining aptitudes, and establishing aspirations. How lucky you are!
Welcome to Old Dominion University.
