Advising Fellow Program Announcement for CMSE's Kevin Miloshoff
Please join us in congratulating CMSE’s own academic advisor, Kevin Miloshoff, who was selected to be an Advising Fellow for the 2024-2025 academic year as part of this program: https://advising.msu.edu/advising-initiative/advisor-training/fellows-program.
Kevin began advising for the MSU Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering (CMSE) Department in July 2022. Prior to this role, he was an advisor with the W.A. Franke Honors College at the University of Arizona for five years.
As an undergraduate at Indiana University, Kevin pursued an education degree with the intention of teaching middle and high school math. During that period, he also served as a Resident Assistant and had a graduate supervisor that was enrolled in the Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) master’s program. Through conversations with his supervisor, Kevin gained insight into higher education and student affairs, sparking an interest in exploring graduate programs in this field. Kevin enrolled at the University of Arizona for graduate school and commenced a career as a Success Counselor at the W.A. Franke Honors College shortly after completing his degree. The Success Counselor role gradually evolved into a full-time advising position, and Kevin has continued to work as an advisor ever since.
We asked Kevin what he enjoys most about academic advising. Kevin shared, “I really enjoy learning about students’ goals and aspirations, both for during their remaining time at MSU as well as after graduation. It’s awesome hearing what students are accomplishing and what they’re working towards, and it’s cool to see how students are applying what they’ve learned at MSU to the real world.”
In the role of the Advising Professional Development Fellow, Kevin is most excited about being a more active contributor to the MSU advising community. Having been a participant in different professional development experiences, he is looking forward to being on the planning side of these opportunities.
