CCAS seeks a caring and supportive individual to join our academic advising staff. CCAS advisors assist students as they navigate through the process of major/career exploration and decision making. Our advisors serve students in multiple ways: one-on-one advising appointments, drop-in advising, and group advising during the Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) program.

CCAS is a university-wide academic advising service and is the assigned advising unit for undecided/exploring students who seek guidance about their major and career plans. The office serves primarily first-year and second-year students. CCAS also advises exploring transfer students and is an important resource for any student who may be considering a change in major or is in transition from one UW-Madison school or college to another.

CCAS is a large team of professional academic/career advisors who value professional growth and the continued development of CCAS as a team. CCAS staff advise students who are exploring interests across all majors on campus and serve students in several residence hall offices and other places where students gather. In addition, CCAS supports a staff of 25-30 student peer advisors each summer and academic year.

How we at CCAS do our work:
CCAS is a team-oriented workplace that taps into the energy, strengths, and interests of its staff to fulfill other vital office needs. In addition to advising, staff embrace other important duties, such as supervising and training student peer advisors, coordinating of SOAR, planning professional development, managing assessment, and creating orientation events for incoming students.
