The IEC has a team of faculty advisors who provide support for IEC students in multiple ways. Every student at the IEC has an assigned advisor who offers support, advice, direction, and help with processes throughout a student’s enrollment at the center. Advisors serve as the first point of contact between students and the academic program.
