Ensure that students meet with their faculty advisors to discuss academic planning and long-run career goals. Regularly review and update department website to reflect current University and College advising policy.

Alumni affairs: Collaborate with the Economics Department Chair and other department staff to keep alumni economics students connected to the Cornell Economics Department. Track economics alumni and engage in regular communications with them.
