Hello, students!  I look forward to meeting with each you for the first time.  I was previously an advisor in Journalism and Mass Communication, but I’m still learning the English catalogs.  I ask for your patience in my learning process.  :)   I have a few changes this year which, I hope, will help to automate the advising process.

Also, please note a few new links on the sidebar of The Inkwell blog.  The most notable change is the addition of the “schedule an advising appointment” link.  Effective immediately, ALL appointments can now be scheduled via my online appointment calendar.  It can be accessed from your mobile device or laptop and includes automatic follow up and reminder emails!

If you are a Junior or Senior, you are not required to meet with me.  If you don’t wish to make an appointment, email me at pamela.piersall@acu.edu.  Include your name and banner ID in the subject line.
