Studio Advisors

help
Studio Advisors are faculty assigned to new students for the first three years of their program. The purpose of studio advising is to provide a format for students to receive feedback on their art work. It is meant to complement the path of study advising that takes place through the Advising Team in Academic Affairs. You will have an opportunity to meet with your assigned studio advisor during orientation.

Meet the Academic Advisors

help
Academic advising is provided by a team made up of professional staff advisors who are also professional artists.  Meetings are not required until the final year but are strongly encouraged.  All students must meet with an academic advisor to be cleared for graduation.
 
Working with the student, advisors review the student's records, including transcripts, questionnaires, essays, and other documents, course selections and student input to advise the student on a path of study.

Advising appointments may be scheduled by calling 617-369-3612 or e-mailing Julie Boudoukara at jboudoukara@smfa.edu or stopping by the Academic Affairs Office.  The Academic Affairs office is located on the 2nd floor, B-side of the main building.
