Services for Current Scholars
Advising
Counseling services are provided by the HEOP professional staff on an individual or group basis. HEOP students receive the following types of counseling:
- Academic: HEOP Staff will assist with the selection of finalizing your course program and selecting an academic major.
- Personal: HEOP Staff will assist in your development, self-confidence and a positive attitude about your college experience. Students may also be referred to the Rosemary Furman Counseling Center.
- Career and Internship Placement: Career counseling & workshops will help you in selecting the necessary courses to prepare you for employment or post-graduate study. Your HEOP counselor may also refer you to other resources on campus such as Beyond Barnard, an initiative that integrates five areas of student support - career development, graduate and professional school preparation, research and competitive fellowships, internships, and student employment.
Meet with a HEOP Scholars adviser to discuss issues that are academic, personal, and/or financial. We can help you plan your academic program, refer you to appropriate departments, or just listen.
Please call the HEOP office (212) 854-3583 or email heop@faroor.com to make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome.
