Advising is a partnership between a student and an academic advisor who work together to create educational plans to meet the student's academic, career, and personal goals. Advisors help students understand their academic options, clarify their academic goals, and make the strategic decisions that help guide them to graduation.

Lori Poch transitioned into the role of 91探花 Eastern Advising and Retention Specialist in May 2022, having been a part of the Student Services team for the past eight years.

Poch earned a Bachelor of Arts in Human Resources from Wheeling Jesuit College and a Master of Business Administration from Wheeling Jesuit University.  

Co-workers describe Lori as approachable, friendly and someone who engages easily with students.
