We serve as a resource for students, creating a supportive environment for the individual student to explore their unique academic interests and goals. We advocate for students by collaborating with faculty and administrators to ensure student interests are central to institutional conversations and policies. By fostering a consistent relationship with each advisee throughout their entire NEC career, we build a strong foundation for students to take personal responsibility for their educational success. We come to know students as artists, scholars, and people in order to become better equipped to help them succeed in their studies and plan for a future beyond NEC.
In collaboration with their advisors, students will:
- Develop the ability to articulate their values and goals for their education at NEC and the future beyond graduation
- Seek curricular and co-curricular opportunities to foster their continued growth
- Take responsibility for their educational path and success
