Meet Your College of Humanities Advisors

Welcome

Walk-ins are always welcome. As you walk into the Humanities Advisement Center you will be greeted by one of our student secretaries. Sign in, chit-chat with the secretary, see if you can get an answer to any of your questions, and then wait in comfortable waiting chairs for your advisors. You can make an appointment by calling (801) 422-1789 or emailing the us at humanities-advisement@byu.edu. Hope to see you soon!

Ron Spotts is the advisor you will be talking to if you have questions, concerns or need information for the College of Humanities. He assists students specifically with Career Advisement. All of the advisors are trained in the entire College of Humanities and can assist with any question you might have.

But even humanities majors need not despair—any major is the Number 1 demand. There are plenty of employers that say, if you are a college graduate and want to learn our business, we will take you from that point on. Make a difference with your humanities/liberal arts degree. Employers need your talents, particularly your analytical skills, your writing and communications expertise, and your creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. Come and see Ron in the Advisement Center. He will assist you with your career decisions and goals, oh yeah….and maybe even tell you about his lovely and talented wife who is earning her degree in English, is PTA president and plays the violin.
He will also show you pictures of his four darling angelic children, who at times are more devilish than angelic. Email Ron Spotts at spottie@byu.edu
