Advising is a key part of your university experience. EHHS student services offers undergraduate advising for students pursuing teaching careers and degrees in movement sciences. Graduate students are advised by the major professor assigned to them.

Your dedicated EHHS career advisor is here to support you — academically and after graduation. Located in the student services suite, they will assist with showing you career paths, building a strong resume, preparing for interviews and navigating salary negotiations.
EHHS partners with Career Services to connect students and alumni with job and internship opportunities, career fairs, networking events and employer meetups — both in person and online.
