    In addition, the OSC advisor assesses the student’s skill level in areas identified as essential to achievement. The OSC advisor helps to establish the competency level that the student should strive to achieve. The advisor identifies curricular, co- curricular, experiential and community learning strategies that will enable students to develop these skills.
