My eyes glazed over the platitudes typed on the glossy notecards I was organizing during a guest-led advising seminar session. In theory, the College of Arts and Sciences advising seminar is a great idea. The eight group meetings throughout the semester are a vast improvement from the single student-advisor meeting during O-weeks of previous years. At the very least, there should be three individual meetings between advisor and student, each around 15 minutes long. Group meetings are necessary to provide general information on subjects such as library literacy and study abroad opportunities.
