Fall 21 Group Advising Sessions
Offered for the second semester in a row are our Group Advising sessions, open to all LACS and LACUSL Scholars.
Group Advising is a small group of students meeting to discuss, interact and explore topics with an Academic Advisor.
In our monthly Group Advising sessions the conversation will be led by those who choose to join. Details are sent to students currently enrolled in our programs. Sessions happen monthly and last 40 minutes. They provide a vital opportunity for our scholars to connect, reflect, and receive support in a relaxed group setting.
