NO APPOINTMENT? NO PROBLEM!

Dr. Candice Calhoun-Butts, assistant dean

CONHI brought enhanced hours for advising to nursing and kinesiology students in 2022 with walk-in advising options. Beginning in the spring, students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program could walk in daily to the Office of Enrollment and Student Services (OESS) in Pickard Hall from Monday through Friday to receive advising for their major. Bachelor of Science in exercise science and Bachelor of Science in public health students also had walk-in options weekly on Thursdays.

Walk-in opportunities were made available to students who had met at least once with an advisor before, and the walk-in advising slots could be secured upon arrival.

“We are excited to offer daily walk-in options for our students in order to better serve them,” says Candice Calhoun-Butts, assistant dean of OESS. “We fully understand that life can be challenging as students with managing classes, studying, family obligations, and work. They may not know what their day looks like or an unexpected question might pop up, so we want to ensure we are easily accessible and available to our students as much as possible.”

In OESS, students meet with CONHI’s trained professional advisors during walkin times and receive guidance to help them through the pursuit of their educational, personal, and career goals. CONHI’s advisors are vital resources for students to receive information pertaining to their progress in their academic program, and it is recommended that students meet with an advisor regularly.
