Advisor Connect
All prospective graduate students must first find an advisor before they can begin their research and studies. Being that a graduate student's advisor serves as both a guide and mentor to the student for the entirety of their graduate career, it is pertinent there is a good degree of compatibility between the two. To ensure this, students would research and even contact the professors. This search process can take up to several months before a suitable professor is found. Several factors contribute to the reason for this lengthy search process. Namely, the sheer amount of professors currently working is in the millions and there does not exist a good unified database where all the professor's information is stored.
AdvisorConnect serves to fulfill the role of a unified database where the users can search and filter professors base on their preferences. This allows for maximum compatibility while simultaneously streamlining the entire search process.
