Volume 6 Issue 2 Spring 2006 A Closer Look

چکیده
This issue of A Closer Look...may seem like somewhat of a departure for our office. Traditionally, we use the publication to spotlight progams or services that are immediately identifiable as student affairs-related activities. At first glance, academic advising just doesn’t seem to fit the mold. However, the Division of Student Affairs is closely involved with academic advising at UNCG. The Spartan Orientation and Registration program (SOAR) has been associated with academic advising for years. For the vast majority of students, their first contact with advising is at SOAR. Although advising is separate and apart from the preparation and conduct of the SOAR program, the coodination of these activities is essential to our mission of bringing the student into the UNCG community.
