If you want to expand that, here's what else I do...

• Help students identify a major that matches their interests and abilities
• Assist in planning an academic schedule that meets graduation requirements
• Introduce & refer students to appropriate University resources, services, & faculty
• Provide information about careers, internships, jobs, and research opportunities
• Orient students to University requirements, policies, & procedures
• Authorize eligible students into NFS courses as needed
• Facilitate communication between students, faculty, and administrators

I also sign lots of papers (Change of Matriculation, Graduation Applications, Authorization forms, etc) and hand out Kleenex’s to stressed-out students (especially if they're in Organic Chemistry) .
