About

Sharon Hay brings a dynamic and student-centered approach to academic advising shaped by her background in higher education with a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in library science. Having explored multiple majors herself, she connects deeply with students navigating uncertainty, offering empathetic guidance grounded in her understanding of academic challenges and personal growth. Sharon is passionate about blending information and human connection, creating a welcoming environment where conversations often begin with students’ lives beyond the classroom. Her advising style—self-described as eclectic—emphasizes exploration, encouraging students to reflect on their interests, engage with campus resources like the Student Academic Center, and take an active role in discovering their academic path. Outside of advising, her interests in travel, sports, and creative pursuits further enrich her ability to build meaningful, relatable connections with students.
