Four ways to connect with an SOJC Advisor:
1. Use the “Quick Question” button below to instantly connect with our advisor, Hailey Nailor, during open office hours.
2. Start by attending a drop-in session; find out more below.
3. Schedule an appointment for drop-in follow-up or if you have career questions.

Drop-In Advising:
Before you look for a future appointment, come to a drop-in! Drop-in conversations are usually 10-15 minutes, although they can take longer, and can be held in-person, by phone or through a Teams video chat. We can meet with you where you are comfortable. No topic is too big or small; come start the conversation!
All drop-in hours are first-come, first-served. Check in for drop-ins begin about 15 minutes before the start of each time block. To ensure we end on time, we stop checking students in 15 minutes before the posted close time. Please note, if the line becomes too long, we will close the list early.
