    So, how does Lamar's personalized undergraduate advising work? At its core, this approach involves a collaborative relationship between the student and their advisor, who work together to identify the student's strengths, passions, and career aspirations. This information is then used to create a customized plan of action, which may include coursework, extracurricular activities, internships, and other experiences designed to help the student achieve their goals.

On the one hand, this approach can help students achieve their goals and develop a stronger sense of purpose and direction. On the other hand, it may require more time and effort from the student, and may not be suitable for all students.
