Academic advisors play a critical role in helping students with course selection, career planning, tracking degree progress and more. In honor of Global Advising Week, which is recognized the first week in May each year, we asked academic advisor Rosalynd Felix to share more about her role and what she loves most about her career:
- Can you describe your role at CSU?
As an academic advisor at CSU, I support students in navigating their academic journey by providing guidance on degree requirements, course planning and university policies. I partner with students to promote informed decision‑making, persistence and timely progress toward graduation.
- What do you enjoy most about your job?
The most rewarding part of my job is hearing students share how they’ve overcome obstacles and continued moving forward toward their long‑term goals. Being part of that journey is incredibly meaningful.

When obstacles arise, remember that persistence is one of your strongest tools. Staying engaged, seeking support when needed, and continuing to move forward will help you overcome challenges and remain on track academically.

One of my most memorable moments at CSU was the 2025 Advising Seminar. The session was engaging, entertaining and motivating, while providing meaningful guidance on how to better support students from an investigative perspective. Leadership’s willingness to dress up truly enhanced the experience and made it enjoyable.
- What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, spending time with my family and traveling in my spare time.
