GUIDED LEARNING
ADVISING
The IML provides one-on-one and small group advising for Eastman School of Music students and alumni up to five years post graduation. These advising sessions include topics such as career explorations, application materials, grant proposals, networking, and non-profit and for-profit entrepreneurial support. The philosophy that guides the IML’s advising and career support is based on the Design Your Life model with four core steps: get curious, try stuff out, talk to people, and tell your story.
“I see myself as a person full of new and bright ideas, but putting them all together doesn’t happen easily. While working with Dr. Koerner, I witnessed her sharp mind in action when it came to writing and organizing thoughts, which brought me to produce immaculate materials. She is wonderful at her job—very professional, efficient, and empathetic. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with her and wouldn’t be where I am today without her! ”
