- doing the right thing
- helping students take responsibility
for their education
- knowing your field
- taking time to make sure you are giving
correct information
- and that above all, advising is about
caring and is one of the most rewarding activities on campus.
As
one of her colleagues put it, Carole ensures that "each student
gets her full attention and her patient, always smiling advice"
