Experience

University of Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania · United States

Academic Advisor Intern

Jun 2026 - Aug 2026

  • Under supervision, compared a student’s transcript with degree requirements and prerequisite sequences, documented an achievable course plan, and referred financial or wellbeing concerns to the appropriate service.
  • The team reviewed degree audits with graduate students and mapped remaining requirements, prerequisites, and registration timing; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team gave each student a documented path to the next academic milestone; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • The team interpreted academic policies with program directors and recorded approved exceptions with scope and expiration dates; I supported research preparation, validation, and documentation under mentor review. The team prevented one-off decisions from becoming undocumented precedent; confirmed with my mentor that my contribution was limited to the assigned support and validation work.
  • Under supervision, owned an academic-advising case review using registration records and academic policies, resolved a prerequisite mismatch and completed a verified study plan with the student.
  • Under supervision, published student communication using recurring advising questions, reduced incomplete registration requests by 24% during the next enrollment period.

  • Built an anonymized learning-support scenario with explicit starting needs and an observation plan; prepared accessible materials and checked whether the activity actually exercised the intended learning objective.
