Connect with LAS Faculty
Build your college network
Connecting with professors is one of the best ways to grow as a student and scholar and ensure you get the most from your educational experience. In LAS, professors hold different roles that involve research, instruction, leadership, and mentorship. They have also spent years navigating university settings as undergraduate and graduate students and academic professionals. This collection of experiences makes them experts across many areas that benefit you as a student and can support your success and development inside and outside the classroom. Be sure to take advantage of the information and resources professors can offer by interacting with them throughout your LAS journey. Take the steps to begin building your college network by reviewing the opportunities and resources below and discover how you can connect with faculty according to your needs and interests.
