Advising and Support

Why meet with an advisor?

We love hearing about your K-State experience and discussing how the Staley School of Leadership can fit within your goals. We work with students to review course requirements for their program of study, as well as identifying opportunities and programs available to apply your leadership skills. We are also here to listen, to learn about what matters to you and to coach you on how you can best exercise leadership to make progress on those endeavors.

Our faculty and staff are energized by you, the students! We want you to have a successful K-State experience and feel prepared to exercise leadership in your personal, community, and work life. We look forward to connecting!
