Advising

Our office is here for you. We want you to find an enriching program. 

We not only help students, but we also offer information and support services to families, faculty, and staff. 学生需要参加至少一次咨询会议,以确保他们获得开始申请所需的信息. If students are attending a Drake faculty-led program, their advising questions can be directed to the faculty member, as well as to our office. 我们还要求学生在出发前参加出发前的培训, to further cover concepts about health, safety, and culture abroad.
