• Guide students in developing educational plans that align with career goals and program requirements
• Identify and address non-academic barriers that may impact student success

• Leverage advising tools and student information systems to deliver responsive, data-informed support
• Engage in ongoing professional development to stay current with best practices in advising
• Promote a culture of inclusion and equity in alignment with Reynolds’ Flight Path initiatives
