Haleigh Riza
Senior Academic Advisor
University Advising
Haleigh views academic advising through a developmental lens. She strives to maintain an empathetic and non-judgmental mindset to allow her advising to revolve around the needs of the student. She notes that success in advising, especially in Xplore Advising, is as variable as the students. Sometimes success is in broadening the horizons for a foreclosed student; other times, success is learning that a student has discovered a true fit major. Colleagues describe Haleigh as a true active ally for students. Haleigh's supervisor, Connie Watson, believes that Haleigh serves as an example for new staff with her curiosity for learning and her professional growth as an academic advisor.
