Graduate Student Guidance for Accessing Advice and Mentorship
The Kroc School makes the provision of meaningful academic guidance, mentorship, and continuous support central to the graduate student experience. You are responsible for taking initiative and meeting with your advisors and mentors. You should hold yourself to a high professional standard and be aware of time constraints and other demands imposed on faculty, program staff, and mentors who are volunteering their time.
- Faculty Advisors
- Course Instructor
- Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs
- Associate Director of Student Success and Career Development
- Mentors (Mentorship Program)
- Kroc Institute Directors
- Identifying Resources at USD
At the start of your program you will be assigned a faculty advisor to guide you through the academic component of your graduate program (i.e., coursework, research, writing, internships, and the capstone). The role of your faculty advisor will share advice, experience, and expertise to help you through your studies. They will help you understand different program requirements and point out resources available to help you succeed. Faculty Advisors will help socialize you into your profession, clarifying and reinforcing—principally by example—what is expected of practitioners in the field you are studying.
Faculty advisors will advise you on elective courses to further your particular academic and career goals. They will also refer you to university and Kroc School policies and practices regarding academic issues that may arise during your coursework. They cannot, however, change or influence grades or dynamics in courses beyond their own.
