- He will also help in working with students in the program, who are on Academic Warning, or who are otherwise struggling, and try to make sure they have a successful term.
- Professor Rosenthal is available as a “virtual” academic advising resource for all students assigned to the program.

When should I contact the PALs Faculty Advisor?
Your primary resource for academic advising should be your regular academic advisor. However, you may be in the process of changing advisors or majors, or your advisor may be unavailable or you have lost touch with him or her and you have an academic question you need some counsel on. You may also want to get a second opinion or may not be able to make the office hours of your PAL. If you need help, then e-mail Kimmo Rosenthal at rosenthk@union.edu. Make sure you identify yourself as being a student who is taking advantage of the PALs program.
