In order to match you with the correct advisor, please complete this quick questionnaire. https://forms.gle/hnXBVSbH94Uryuyu6
***********IMPORTANT ****************
If you want to self-select an advisor you need to complete this form by Friday, January 5th. A self-selected advisor can be a parent or other trusted adult that is willing to complete meeting notes in the Crosby Scholars Advisor Portal, and help you reach your college goals. Each Self-Selected advisor is required to attend a Senior Advisor Volunteer Training. Our next Volunteer advising training is January 12, 2023, at 11:30. Please email me ASAP with contact information for self-selected advisor.
