meeting options

We expect a high level of professionalism from students in the Belk College of Business, which includes showing up for scheduled meetings or rescheduling in advance. This is respectful of our time as academic and career coaches and is also respectful toward your peers who would also like to meet with us.

There are four ways to meet with us: Make an Appointment, Virtual Drop-in, In-person Drop-in on Main Campus and In-person Drop-in at the Dubois Center:
