UW ACADEMIC ADVISING MISSION
Academic Advising at the University of Washington is a core element of the University's focus on student learning. As educators, advisers partner with faculty and the campus community to cultivate our students' intellectual development. As guides and advocates, advisers collaborate with students to craft a transformational educational experience so that they may become informed, articulate and thoughtful students of the University and citizens of the world.
