School of Education Offers Expanded Evening
Advisement for Graduate Education Majors

Brookville, N.Y. - Students who work full-time while pursuing master's degrees in education at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University can now meet with their academic advisers on weekday evenings, campus officials announced.

Graduate advisement is now available between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. While appointments are suggested, students may also walk-in or phone during these new hours to receive personalized academic counseling and help with course selection.

"Many of our students work full-time while earning their master's degrees," said Dr. Robert Manheimer, dean of the School of Education at C.W. Post. "Finding time to meet with their academic counselors is sometimes difficult. Evening advisement will make it much easier for these students to stay on track to completion of their degrees."
