The Lynch School of Education's (LSOE) Office of Undergraduate Student Services has undergone changes to expand its advising services, heighten the connection between students and faculty, and reach out to freshmen under the leadership of Audrey Friedman, the new assistant dean of LSOE, according to an article in The Boston College Chronicle.
"The Lynch School offers a range of support services to students across their undergraduate career," said Maureen Kenny, interim dean of LSOE, in the article. "Dr. Friedman will bring her talents as a superlative teacher to enhancing links between academic and student services.
These changes are intended to make sure students are aware of the requirements in both LSOE and the College of Arts and Sciences, in which many LSOE students pursue a double major.
Friedman, who was named 2009 "Massachusetts Professor of the Year" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching through the U.S. Professors of the Year awards program, will also oversee the First Year Professional Development Seminar, research fellows program, and student senate.
"Our goal is to continue to offer superb advisement services," Friedman said.
"The Lynch School has earned a reputation of providing advisement tailored to student needs and we will keep doing that, but with added supports from staff, faculty, and graduate students that will help ensure our students have an excellent undergraduate experience in the Lynch School." ♦
