New this Sp 21 Group Advising Sessions

New this semester is Group Advising available 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! We may have a topic here and there like LACUSL Capstone Course or All About Internships. You can also suggest topics you would like to have a session focus on.
Details are sent to students currently enrolled in our programs. Sessions happen monthly and last one hour. They provide a vital opportunity for our scholars to connect, reflect, and receive support in a relaxed group setting.
