By CLAIRE MUNN Senior Editor [email protected] As the schedule of classes became available for spring semester, advisers saddled up and reined in students during the Wild, Wild Week of Advising. The third annual Advising Week took place from Sept. 24-27 and featured a western appearance, where students were able to find out information about classes, when registration appointments start- ed and the importance of advising. Christina Thompson, academic adviser for the Advising Center for Exploratory Students, said ad- visers are the best resources and advocates on cam- pus for students. “Our advisers are very outgoing and energetic people and have no problems stopping students on their way out of class or on their way to class,” Thompson said. One of the main events throughout the week in- cluded the Showdown at the IU Southeast Corral, which was set up in McCullough Plaza during the lunch hour. Students spun a wheel of four different categories with questions pertaining to advising, in- cluding people, places, policies and procedures. If they answered the question correctly, they won a free prize and lunch. Shane Thomas, adviser for ACES, who played the role of “Cowboy Justice,” and Jay McTyier, program analyst for the Registrar, who performed as “Snide- ly Whiplash,” manned the game show booth. Thomas said the western theme was chosen based off a consensus from the Advising Week Planning Commiee. “Advising can get prey wild at times, and your future can be prey wild if you don’t see them about it,” Thomas said. Some of the other events included group advising sessions and a panel of students who discussed how they chose their majors. Thompson said the number of appointments scheduled increased during the week. Katie McMillin, business senior, said she thought this year’s theme was fun because it caught her at- tention. She also said advising is important in order to make sure students are taking the classes they need. “I’ve changed my major a lot, so advising has helped me because I don’t really know what classes I had to take when I changed my major,” McMillin said. Capricia Grady, undecided sophomore, also par- ticipated in the Showdown event and said advising helps students go in the right direction. “They basically pick my classes for me,” she said. “I don’t know how to do it, so they really have done a lot and told me what I should take and what I shouldn’t.” Due to reforms on education with retention and persistence, one advising change involved advis- Volume 67 | Issue 04 www.iushorizon.com See page 3 | Volleyball the horizon Culture Dance | See page 8 NEW ALBANY, INDIANA Indiana University Southeast CONTACT US ONLINE MEDIA Photos Newscast video Polls/Opinions SUGGESTIONS INDEX 812-941-2253 [email protected] www.iushorizon.com Access exclusive online content by visiting www. iushorizon.com as denoted with these ONLINE icons to browse photos, polls and more.
