Welcome
Recognizing that good advice comes from a variety of sources, particularly peers, Expanded Advising Programs (EAP) provides several advising opportunities for first-year students. EAP is designed to smooth the transition to academic and social life at Stanford by providing ongoing introductions to campus academic resources and support networks, and by giving students the tools to make successful academic, social, and cultural connections.
EAP consists of two programs: Partners for Academic Excellence (PAE); and LGBT Community Academic Support & Advising (LGBT-CASA). Co-sponsored by campus Community Centers and university offices,
PAE and LGBT-CASA offer the following experiences:
- Access to a Graduate Student Mentor to
provide direction in a variety of areas
including monitoring, advising, and
support on your academic and professional
progress;
- Access to an Undergraduate Student Mentor
to provide information regarding campus
resources and undergraduate life;
- Community themed workshops and
seminars, dinners, meetings and
discussions designed to avail students of
academic opportunities on campus and
nationally including scholarships,
internships, research, and overseas studies;
- Dinners with distinguished Stanford faculty members;
- Networking opportunities with local Stanford alumni.
Over the course of the Autumn and Winter quarters, PAE and LGBT-CASA provide mentor groups led (weekly or bi-weekly) by undergraduate and graduate students to create an optimal learning environment by facilitating a community support network among diverse groups of students. On average, participants commit 1-to-2 hours per week to activities.
