Meet your advisor
Cassandra Threadgill
Hi, I’m Cassandra Threadgill. I work with Tempe campus students (sophomore level through graduation) and online students (all levels) who have a major or minor in technological leadership.
Is this your first year at ASU?
First-year and transfer students (not including ASU Online students) receive advising support from the Advising Hub in Armstrong Hall.
When to see your advisor
Your academic advisor is here to support you at every stage of your journey at ASU. Meeting with your advisor at least once each semester is encouraged to keep you on track and make the most of your program. Your advisor can assist with:
- Program planning: Choosing the right classes and electives to align with your career goals.
- Academic support: Addressing challenges or concerns if you’re struggling in your courses.
- Accommodations: Connecting you to resources and accommodations for recurring or one-time needs.
- Career and grad school preparation: Guidance on exploring career options or graduate programs.
- Internship assistance: From preparing for internship courses to application support and exploring opportunities.
If you have questions outside of these areas, your advisor can help connect you with the right person.
Curious about our degree programs? We’re also available to discuss your interests and help you decide if this path is the right fit for you.
