How to Get an Adviser

How do I get an adviser assigned to me? Here’s the process.

Students can declare an ES major and be assigned an adviser, even if this is their first semester at UW Oshkosh. Students declare a major at the Undergraduate Advising Resource Center (UARC) Student Resource Center, 2nd floor. To qualify for assignment to an Environmental Studies Faculty Adviser, the student must declare Environmental Studies as the student’s major and be in academic good standing with the University.

After declaring a major, the next step is to contact the Director of Environmental Studies, Jim Feldman, feldmanj@uwosh.edu. He will set you up with an appointment to see the ES Student Advising Mentor (“SAM”), an advanced ES major who will introduce you to the ES curriculum. Soon after that meeting, or even before it, the Director of Environmental Studies assigns the student to an adviser. The adviser may change as the student progresses through the program.
