Welcome back to Fall Semester 2005. Here’s hoping that you were able to catch a little rest and relaxation over the summer.
My name is Patti Griffin. I am the director of the Academic Advising and Career Exploration Center/Assistant Professor of Communication Studies. I have both a B.A. and a M.S. degree in communication and my PhD is in Curriculum, Instruction and Policy of Higher Education. I am a diehard Tiger Fan and enjoy being part of the FHSU Family.

I am excited about the new academic year and the opportunities that lie in front of each of us. The Academic Advising and Career Exploration Center is intended to provide support services relating mainly to academic advising, academic probation and suspension, career exploration and professional development for students, faculty and staff at Fort Hays State University. Key support for faculty and staff is provided through professional development activities.
