Academic Advisors

Academic advisors are an important part of the supportive, welcoming community in the Faculty of Arts — we’re here to help you feel confident in your academic journey.

If you’re unsure about something, facing a challenge, or just want to talk through your options, reach out to your advisor — that’s what we’re here for.
