Carly Andrew

My job: I am a dedicated advisor to STAR Scholars

Things I regularly help students with: Transitioning to college, getting connected to resources on campus and in the community, offering support when navigating challenges, and whatever else I can help you with

Fun fact: I keep bees – but have not yet harvested any honey from them. Maybe this fall!
