Academic Advisors serve a supporting yet vital role to the student’s success at Villanova and thereafter. We seek to cultivate students who are advancing their educational pursuits to be changemakers in the communities. We understand the demands on our student population and first seek to meet them where they are in their journey. By doing so, our goal is to develop and nurture the total person to help students achieve their academic, personal, and professional aspirations.

In line with the mission of the University and College, we adhere to the following enduring commitments:

  • To foster academic excellence
  • To honor our values and traditions
  • To serve our students, alumni, and global community.
