Academic Advising

SP2 offers a three-tiered advising system:

  • Academic Advisor: Each student is assigned an academic advisor who helps you make the maximum use of the School and University’s resources for a rich academic experience. Please check Path@Penn(opens in a new tab) for your advisor assignment.
  • Faculty Advisor:  Standing faculty members offer mentorship and guidance about educational and professional goals, during the academic year. We encourage you to meet with your faculty advisor at least once per semester.
  • Alumni Mentor: Each student has the opportunity to be paired with an alumni of SP2 through the SP2 Mentoring Collective.
