Advising, Tutoring & Support
Advising the Whole Student
What do movie stars, Olympic athletes and Davidson students have in common? Each of them can call on teams of experts.
Davidson students’ support teams can include study abroad advisers, career counselors, peer academic counselors and peer tutors. The captain of a Davidson student’s team is the Holistic Adviser.
Holistic Advising
During your first 2 years, you are encouraged to explore your interests with the goal of declaring a major by the end of the second year. Your holistic adviser meets with you to develop a comprehensive plan beyond just your required courses—looking at internships, study abroad, summer experiences, and other academic and co-curricular opportunities.
Pre-Major Support Advising Resources
Davidson has a wealth of resources available for your academic success. Your Holistic Adviser will work with you to explore courses in a variety of subjects and help you decide on a subject area to pursue for your major. Connect with the necessary academic support you may need, whether it's tutoring, writing support, or assistance with research and lab reports. We are here to assist you in your academic pursuits and growth.
Careers, Internships & Education Abroad Advising for Immersive Experiences
At Davidson we believe that having strong support from subject-matter experts is key to achieving success and securing unique and impactful opportunities outside of the classroom. Davidson's Betty and B. Frank Matthews II ’49 Center for Career Development (Matthews Center) offers in-house career advising and supports alumni mentoring through Davidson Connect, while the Office of Education Abroad has a team of advisers to help you explore your abroad options.
Elevating Learning Tutoring & Academic Support
The John Crosland Jr. Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a place where experts in technology, library sciences, and education work together under one roof to support the work of Davidson scholars—from first-year students to tenured professors. The CTL offer resources to help students succeed academically through peer tutoring and beyond.
