失去了? 需要帮助? Ask Your Navigator!

航海家 are vital members of student success teams who stick with students from their first term all the way to their end goal. They are the perfect go-to folks for help navigating college processes like registration, getting connected with clubs, and accessing resources. Think of them as your personal concierge for your Linn-Benton experience, always ready to answer any question that comes their way (if they don't know the answer, they know who does, so you'll be taken care of no matter what). 

航海家 are assigned by a student's starting META Major. Here are the 航海家 who cover each area.
