Advising Directory

Centrally Located Advising Services

You will undoubtedly seek most of the advice you need from your academic adviser, your residential college dean, director of studies, and the faculty fellows in your residential college. There are, however, several offices on campus that serve all Princeton undergraduates, and you may find it helpful to consult them.

Career Services, 201 Nassau Street (corner of Nassau and Charlton streets), 8-3325. The mission of this office is to help students explore their career interests through individual and group career counseling, self-assessment inventories, and computer-assisted programs. The staff also advises students interested in pursuing graduate study and hosts graduate admissions representatives. The office maintains an extensive library of graduate school catalogs, directories, and information on corporate and nonprofit public organizations. An On-Campus Recruiting Program, an internship database, and the sponsorship of several career fairs assist students seeking summer and postgraduation employment opportunities. The Alumni Career Network offers access to a worldwide database of alumni available to share their experience and offer advice. A full complement of workshops, panels, and presentations are offered throughout the year. Additional resources covering a broad spectrum of career fields are available in the office and at www.princeton.edu/career.

Preprofessional Advisers

Business:

Beverly Hamilton-Chandler
Career Services, 201 Nassau Street, 8-3325

The decision to attend business school is a complicated one, and students are encouraged to review the MBA Information section of the “Graduate School” menu of the Career Services home page: www.princeton.edu/career. Since most MBA programs require a minimum of one year of post-graduation employment prior to applying, this will address many questions related to both the decision and the application process. Business school catalogs and directories are available in Career Services, and helpful Internet information is on our Web site. Call the office for appointments and walk-in hours.

Health Professions:

Glenn N. Cummings, Robert Trelstad, M.D.
305 West College, 8-3144

The advisers for the health professions are available to help students with questions about course selection, choice of major, work experience, and other academic and nonacademic concerns that may arise in exploring the possibility of careers in medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, public health, or other health-related professions.

Mental Health Professions:

Ronald Comer
1-S-6 Green Hall, 8-4475

Students considering a career in one of the mental health professions (clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, or educational psychology) should contact Professor Comer (comer@princeton.edu), preferably by the middle of their sophomore year. A meeting for students interested in mental health careers is also conducted by Professor Comer each fall.

Law:

Lyon Zabsky, Pre-law Adviser
Career Services, 201 Nassau Street, 8-3325

Students considering law school should review Pre-Law Information on the “Graduate School” menu of Career Service’s Web site: www.princeton.edu/Career.
