Section 2: Getting to Know the Student

Sample Questions for Subsequent Meetings

Future meetings with advisees should attempt to make life at Texas Tech as productive and trouble-free as possible. You should be ready to work with the student to help solve any problems that the student encounters. These meetings are also a time to make certain that the academic choices that students make correspond with their career goals.
  • How are you enjoying life at Texas Tech?
  • Do you know where to get help if you encounter any problems? [Advisor may refer student to campus resources -- see Section 5]
  • How is each of your classes going?
  • Do you know where to get help for these classes (PASS Center, Missouri Club etc.)?
  • In which academic areas do you still need to take courses before graduation?
  • In which student activities and professional organizations are you currently involved?
  • Do you know where you can find out more about campus activities? [If the student is not involved in the department's professional organization, this is a good time to encourage involvement]
  • When do you plan to graduate?
  • Will you be planning to do a co-op or gather any related professional experience before that time?
  • Let's review a copy of your most recent resume.
  • Have you contacted the Career Development Center?
