 Academic Advising Mission Statement

Undergraduate Academic Advising at the University of Michigan-Dearborn empowers students to embrace knowledge of who they are,
establish personal and professional goals, and take ownership of their educational experience so that they become active and responsible
citizens and leaders in their community. We do this by supporting and partnering with students as they navigate university resources, policies,
and requirements. We are committed to excellence in advocacy and relationship building in order to create an inclusive and welcoming
environment for all students.
