Academic advising is a collaborative educational process in which students and their advisers are partners in meeting the essential learning outcomes that support student success. This partnership requires participation and involvement of both the adviser and the student and spans the student’s whole educational experience.
Portland State utilizes both professional and faculty advisers in delivering advising for students.
Faculty Advisers
Faculty advisers support students with questions about the Mathematics and Data Science majors, which may also include potential careers and professional opportunities within the discipline. It is important that students with a major in the department meet with a faculty adviser prior to registering for courses. The faculty advisers help students develop a coherent course plan to achieve their academic goals.
Faculty advisers: Dr. Beatriz Lafferriere and Dr. Julie Bracken
