Tourism and Events Management

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 any 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 Tourism and Events Management also have a TEM faculty member who serves as a faculty mentor. As such, the assigned professor advises on activities that will help the TEM student to get the most from the Mason experience and to prepare for a successful career in the field.

A comprehensive guide for planning an academic program that satisfies student needs is the TEM Student Passport. The Student Passport is specific to the student’s catalog year (i.e. the academic year during which the student declared TEM as his or her major).
