Students need a strong network of advisors and mentors to take full advantage of Brown’s open academic culture. By meeting with your advisees at regular intervals, you will help them develop the habit of seeking advice from a variety of advisors and mentors.
The calendar of meetings below is designed to ensure that your advisees discuss their academic plans with you at key times of the year. You may want your advisees to communicate more frequently with you via email or by coming to your open hours.
