Students may also meet with a Coordinating Counselor and/or Faculty Mentor to assist the student throughout their educational endeavors at the College of Agricultural, Life, and Physical Sciences. From summer internship options, to research opportunities and career advice, many students find this faculty-student relationship invaluable. Graduating students often call on their Faculty Mentors for job recommendations and professional advice.
