If you are new to WSU, we strongly encourage you to make an appointment with your advisor after the first week of school to help acquaint him or her with your personal and academic career goals. The Murrow Student Services Office is located in Murrow Hall East, room 226, and is open during regular business hours.
As you develop your academic goals, we can also help you with the application process to professional school or graduate school (letters of recommendation, professional goals statement, etc.). Your advisor is a valuable resource, and someone you should take the time to get to know.
