Advising Philosophy
I want my office to be a place where students can go to have their questions answered, big or small. If they want to discuss changing majors, problems with a class or their schedule, I'm available. One of the great things about my position is getting to know our students.

About
Linda Williams advises most of the freshmen and transfer students who come into the School of Communications for one or two years. Her office is "the" place to get answers to any advising questions for any student.

Williams began teaching at Webster while still working in television news. For 25 years, she was a news producer or executive producer, earning three Regional Emmy's from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
