Agnes Scott College Academic Advising

Last week, the Office of Academic Advising hosted our annual Major Exploration Panels for First Year students. First Year students were able to hear from upperclass students about their respective journeys to declaring their majors. It is always great to see Scotties supporting and learning from each other. Huge thanks to our panelists and the SUMMIT Peer Advisors! 💜

Happy Move-In Day ☀️! The SUMMIT Peer Advisors created a banner for today’s Academic Department Fair. We hope to see you this afternoon!
