Center to ease advising problems
By Matthew Friedrichs
Kansan staff reporter
John Gray, Wichita sophomore,
expected advice about classes last
fall when he went to see his
adviser at the University of
Kansas.
Instead, his adviser surfed the Web trying to find information about Italy while Gray waited for a signature, he said.
The new Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center will attempt to address the advising complaints of Gray and other KU students, said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, the center's director.
"I think there's always been a concern about how we can best provide good academic advising for students that is not only enrollment advising." Tuttle said.
This fall the office will provide advising to the Mount Oread Scholars and other selected student groups.
Also, the advising center will soon have its own Web page which will announce programs and services as well as provide answers to commonly asked advising questions.

Services and staff are expected to grow in the next year. The office is searching for an associate director who will manage advising programs and an assistant director who will work with special programs including the Freshman Summer Institute and the Mount Oread Scholars, Tuttle said.
Once the associate and assistant directors are hired, Tuttle said she envisioned an advising center staffed by faculty, professional advisers, graduate students and peer advisers.
When fully operational, the center will provide comprehensive
advising about enrollment, choosing majors and selecting career interests. Tuttle said.
"In addition to having accurate and comprehensive information, students very much felt that personalized advising is key," she said.
Students agree.
"I've had a different adviser every semester," said Nate Brinson, Edwardsville, Ill., sophomore. "I want to be able to go in to my adviser and have him or her have an idea about what I'm doing."
There is some uncertainty about what will happen to freshman and sophomore advising now done by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Engineering, and the School of Architecture & Urban Design.
"We're still negotiating that with the deans," said Associate Provest Kathleen McCluskev-Fawcett.
McCluskey-Fawcett said it would take about three years to iron out the last wrinkles in a program as complex as a centrally-located advising center.
