Advisor Series

The Advising series is a monthly event brought to you by the Office of the Provost. The Advising Advisory Group helps to plan and coordinate this event each month. The Advisor Series is held on the fourth Friday of most months from 9-10am. Most Advisor Series events are available as hybrid events. Location of each series event will be sent via email. Light breakfast will be available for those attending in person. Information about upcoming events are sent via the advis-l listserv.

If you have ideas or are interested presenting at an upcoming Advisor Series event email success4all@illinois.edu.
