All students need to see their advisors prior to registration.ONLY YOU CAN TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR EDUCATION You are responsible for seeking out the advisement you need. Don't be passive about your career or your undergraduate experience. Too many people just 'go to work' for years and then retire, grow old, and die. You deserve better. Every workday (or at least the majority of the time) you should take joy in your profession. If you can't imagine waking up Mondays with a grin thinking, "I get to go to work today!" you're cheating yourself. Don't settle for less than that! If you can't imagine that for yourself with an English major, then go over to Career Services and get some testing and counseling. They can help you think through just what might be the best career and preparation for you given your interests and abilities. Your advisor is your professional coach while you're here at Millersville. To start with, you are assigned an advisor by the Chair of English Department once you declared a major. Take time to get to know your advisor. This person should become your best advocate and mentor. What if it's not a good match? You are free to change to a person who you feel will be better match so long as both parties agree. If you aren't taking advantage of that relationship, and too many students do not, you aren't getting as much out of the university experience as you might. Advisors can tell you what courses are coming up, discuss the qualities of various professors and courses (one size does not fit all), and otherwise help you get the most out of your time here.
