General Department Advisers
The general advisers for all psychology majors and minors are Joan Linsenmeier, Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies (j-linsenmeier@northwestern.edu, Swift 311, 847-491-7834), and Sara Broaders, (s-broaders@northwestern.edu, Swift 104B, 847-491-3652). These advisers are available to discuss your psychology program with you. To make an appointment with either of them, contact the Undergraduate Secretary, Ms. Ginger Gilmore, in the main psychology department office (Swift 102, phone 847-491-5190).
Either Joan Linsenmeier or Sara Broaders can also review and sign your official Petition to Graduate (Application for a Bachelor's Degree) or Minor Application, which you should file at the Registrar's Office one year before your expected graduate date (typically in spring of your junior year). In addition, they can review and sign study abroad applications and approve courses taken abroad or at other U.S. schools for department requirements.
