Hello, and from us at the Advising Hub, welcome back for the ’24 fall semester! In this newsletter, we hope to regularly share important updates, pre-professional information and advising, and how we at the Advising Hub can help you flourish during your time at CC.
If you haven’t met with us yet, Hub advisors help students identify academic and personal goals, and plan educational pathways to meet those goals. We also advise students on course selection, general education requirements, and navigate CC’s policies and procedures. We work closely with other offices on campus to ensure that we know how best to answer or direct a variety of questions, so if you’re having difficulty navigating any part of your time at CC, we’re here to help in any way that we can.
In this issue, you will find information on:
Academic Coaching
Starting this year, the Advising Hub is offering Academic Coaching sessions! In academic coaching appointments, our role is not to simply provide advice or direction but to collaborate with you on your journey and help you in the areas that you want to grow, not just areas you might be struggling in. We believe that Academic Coaching can make a significant difference in your college experience, contributing to your personal and academic success.
At its core, Academic Coaching is a collaborative relationship, with topics led by you. Some of these topics may include:
- Short or long term goal setting
- Ways to study more effectively
- Ideas for resisting procrastination
- Strategies to help you with balance, so that you aren’t overworking yourself
- Collaborating on making a study schedule and other time management tools
- Academic anxiety
- Organizing and planning
For more information, you can visit this website. If you’re interested in taking advantage of this valuable resource, email your hub advisor. Spaces are limited!

Hello and welcome to a new school year!
I hope you all had a great summer and are ready to start the year off on a great foot. For those that don’t know me, my name is Gretchen Wardell and I am the pre-law advisor on campus. I am excited to get to know you!
Here are a few things for you to think about during your 4 years at Colorado College:
- Keep your grades up. Grades are important to law schools. That does not mean you have to have a 4.0 GPA but the higher you can keep your GPA, the better.
- Get to know your professors. Letters of recommendation are important so please get to know your professors. Take more than one class with a few professors so they have more to write about.
- First year students, this is a great time to explore. Let’s talk about different ways to get involved on campus and what your interests are. It’s ok to try all kinds of different things even if it isn’t law related.
- Sophomores and juniors, focus your interest area. Stay involved in clubs or activities and obtain some leadership. It’s better to participate in fewer things and be more involved. In other words, show up for more than just a random meeting here and there.
- Seniors (and maybe some juniors!), let’s talk timelines and application processes.
Let’s talk through your particular situation. Feel free to make an appointment. I’m always happy to chat!
