Undergraduate Advisors
You don’t have to navigate your degree alone! The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) has a team of experienced advisors who can help guide you through a major to graduation.
If you're not sure which major in CANR is for you or are an Exploratory Major student, contact Dr. Dorcia Chaison, in CANR's Office of Academic and Student Affairs, at 517-355-0234 as your initial advisor. You can also stop by the Justin S. Morrill Hall of Agriculture, Room 121.
If you're changing your major or minor in the CANR, please set up a follow-up appointment with your CANR academic advisor by email or through msu.campus.eab.com.
