Human Rights & Social Justice Advising

One of the biggest benefits of being in the Human Rights & Social Justice BDP is that you have access to individualized advising services. Christine Anderson, the BDP advisor and connecting experiences advisor for Human Rights & Social Justice, specializes 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 Human Rights & Social Justice BDP should plan to come in for coursework advising with Christine Anderson once each long semester during registration.

Connecting Experience Advising

Human Rights & Social Justice students must complete two connecting experiences as part of the BDP. Christine 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 Christine the semester before you want to be in a connecting experience.
