Parks, Recreation, and Leisure Studies

Academic Advising

The Academic Advisor for all undergraduate students in the School of Recreation, Health, and Tourism is:

• Dr. Cindy Waddell
  Bull Run Hall 201
  Prince William Campus
  (703) 993-4160
  cwaddell@gmu.edu

Students should meet with Dr. Waddell regularly to plan and adjust academic schedules and to prepare for required internship experiences. Students also can monitor their academic progress on Patriot Web. The self service website offers Mason students the opportunity to see their weekly schedule in calendar form; view their academic transcript; and monitor a degree evaluation that shows them what courses they still need to satisfy general education and professional concentration requirements.

Students with a declared major in POR and TR also have four PRLS faculty members who schedule weekly office hours to answer questions regarding internship ideas, retention issues, course substitutions, and overall advice on activities that will help PRLS students to get the most from their Mason experience and prepare for a successful career in the parks, recreation, and leisure studies field.
