The worst co-op advisor at this school. I have constantly asked her for help that I know most advisors are able to provide, but she will give you short handed responses as if she does not care. Highly recommend switching advisors.BUSN1103 2026-10-20 14:26:15 +0000 UTC
Super accessible outside of class, almost always sub 30min email reply. Great person to luck out with for co-op advisor.BUSN1103 2025-12-19 09:52:10 +0000 UTC
Cathy was SO GREAT (glad someone added her on here)!! She puts her students' success first and truly cares about each of us individually. She is very accessible outside of class, too. Put some effort into the assignments; they may seem tedious, but useful! She honestly didn't help me with getting my co-op though, (did the process over the summer).BUSN1103 2025-12-13 02:54:24 +0000 UTC
She is the BEST and made the class environment so welcoming! She greeted everyone with a smile and knew everyones names(I wasnt even that close w her). Having this energy for the stressful search process made it so much more approachable. She also has a lot experience from being a recruiter in finance. She is like a sweet grandma that really cares!BUSN1103 2025-12-01 02:51:44 +0000 UTC
