  • Provide a safe space in which to share your thoughts, aspirations, concerns, and interests, maintain confidentiality with all information shared, and treat you with respect as an adult.
  • Actively listen to your questions and concerns while providing information and support as needed.
  • Provide guidance and encouragement as you develop a clear and realistic educational plan and assist you in making course and major decisions.
