4) Academic Advising Forum will soon be on Blackboard

The Office of the Dean of Student Affairs will soon be launching an Academic Advisement Forum through Blackboard. The forum will allow the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs and the academic departments to share information about academic issues, as well as academic policies and regulations affecting the faculty and students on the Newark campus. It will also be a way of getting departmental academic advisors, general advisors, and new faculty to network in an effort to better advise our undergraduate students.

The Advisement Forum is a work in progress, so please send feedback and suggestions to Dean Lydia Rodriguez at lydia@rutgers.edu.

Academic advisors or FAS-N faculty wishing access to the Advisement Forum should send their full name, title, and email address to Mehul Antani at mantani@rutgers.edu.
