Faculty Advising

Experts in their respective knowledge domains, academic advisors guide students towards success not only during their time at Stevens but also in their future endeavors. These faculty advisors assume the role of mentors, connecting students' academic pursuits and career aspirations. They may also suggest extracurricular opportunities that can enrich a student's education.

Each student is assigned a faculty advisor associated with their chosen program of study. To locate your designated faculty advisor, please navigate to the "Academics" tab within Workday.
