Welcome to Society and Culture or, as we here in the office like to
call it, "Your home-away-from-home". We are located in room 122
Johnston Hall, right at the Northwest corner of Northrop Mall. You can
reach us in person, by phone at 612-624-2549 or by email at
sac@class.cla.umn.edu. Our office is open from 8 am - 4:30 pm, Monday -
Friday, and closed on university holidays.
We are your college
advising office. We can advise you on all CLA policies, requirements
and more. In the end, we are also the office that clears you for
graduation. Because it is a big place, the College of Liberal Arts
(CLA) divides its students into "student communities" based on what
type of major you have or are thinking about. All communities include
students who are "undecided", as well. The majors that our office deals
with regularly are: American Indian Studies, American Studies,
Architecture, BIS/IDIM, Chicano Studies, Cultural Studies and
Comparative Literature, English, Jewish Studies, Philosophy, Religious
Studies, Studies in Cinema and Media Culture, Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies and
Undeclared.
The staff here in Society and Culture is eager to
serve you and consists of our Academic Advisers, Karen
Crouch, Natan Paradise, Jayashree Kamble, and Chirayu Dongre; Administrative Specialist,
Marlene Parkhurst; and Peer Advisers, Teresa Townsend and Thomas Taff.
If you have a quick question or two you may stop in and talk to an
adviser on what we call a "walk-in appointment". Our office has walk-in
advising hours this semester as follows:
Mondays: 9 - 12 and 1 - 4
Tuesdays: 9 - 12 and 1 - 4
Wednesdays: 10:30 - 12 and 1 - 4
Thursdays: 9 - 12 and 2 - 4
Fridays: 9 - 12 and 1 - 4
However, we strongly encourage all students to make regular advising
appointments with us once a semester or more. Call our front desk at
612-624-2549 to make an appointment. You don't need a specific reason
for the appointment, just checking in and seeing where you stand in
terms of requirements is reason enough! We look forward to meeting with
you. Don't forget to check out the rest of the website!
