On the importance of academic advising, Dr. Kirkmeyer has said, “Academic advising is more than simply choosing your classes. It is an engaged process that involves identifying the best academic options for you, connecting you with the appropriate resources to help you pursue your interests, and helping you understand the policies of Miami University.”

Both Norm Krumpe and Brian Kirkmeyer provide excellent guidance to engineering students as they navigate their academic careers and the College of Engineering & Computing is lucky to have them.
