During these Zoom groups, we’ll lead you through an introduction to academic advising, discuss information and resources related to your major and career goals, and help you submit all the information we need to build you a suggested first-semester class plan. You'll also have the chance to meet some Texas State academic advisors and some new NSO friends also interested in Psychology.
