Student Advisor Open House

This Panel gave visitors the chance to get to know the people at the College who directly help the students navigate through academic, social and cultural experiences. Many of the student advisors work for the Office of Pluralism and Leadership. The primary goal of OPAL is to promote and universalize diversity and leadership development at Dartmouth College. Advisors work with individual students as well as student communities and organizations to encourage and facilitate academic, personal, social, and cultural development and success. Nora Yasumura (Assistant Dean of Student Life & Advisor to Asian & Asian American Students), Mattie Stevens (Interim Advisor to Black Students), Xenia Markowitt, (Director of Center for Women and Gender), Alexander Hernàndez-Siegel (Assistant Dean of Student Life & Advisor to Latino/a Students), Pam Misener (Assistant Dean of Student Life & Advisor to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Students), and Michael Hanitchak (Director of Native American Program) are all excellent resources for students. Individual conversations with advisors followed long after the panel was over!
