Faculty Advising and Mentoring

The Department is perched at an exciting and vital moment in higher education, as it prepares students with the cross-cultural and global perspective necessary for a range of careers from engineering, education, diplomacy, urban planning, non-profits, heritage management (i.e. museums and public archaeology) to social work , medicine, and allied professions.
