Ethics & Leadership | Advising

One of the biggest benefits of being in the Ethics and Leadership BDP is that you have access to individualized advising services. Marion Rocco and Lynda Gonzales, the coursework and connecting experience advisors for Ethics and Leadership, specialize in:

helping you find courses from different disciplines that match your interests;
helping you integrate your BDP work with your degree plan; and
helping you find unique research and internship opportunities connected to your interests and career goals.

Coursework Advising
Students in the Ethics and Leadership BDP should plan to come in for coursework advising with Marion Rocco once each long semester during registration.

Connecting Experience Advising
Ethics and Leadership students must complete at least two connecting experiences as part of the BDP. Marion can help you through the entire process, from brainstorming research and internship possibilities to helping you get course credit for the experience. Remember that it can take time to find the right connecting experience for you, so contact Marion the semester before you want to be in a connecting experience.

"The coursework I've completed for my Ethics of Health Care strand has broadened my perspective on different issues in our health care system today. The knowledge I've gained in my ethics courses about the humanistic side of medicine will better prepare me for what lies ahead as I pursue my career goals."

- Katie Tran, Ethics & Leadership
