Talking about life
The perception is that an adviser’s job is to make sure a student gets all the classes needed to graduate. But for Louie Bottaro, advising means much more. “I want to talk about your life and help you figure out how to get there,” he says.
For Neha George, getting there meant migrating to liberal arts, in part, because it would challenge her. Bottaro also challenged her, providing advice on potential internships, and as graduation approached, her job search.
“I definitely seek his opinion on what I can excel in or what not might be a good fit for me,” George says. “I value his ability to not just to relate but his willingness to speak his mind.”
