The Robert and Mary Cox Compass Center offers personal and professional discovery to enrich your college experiences and shape your future. It’s the foundation of Drury Fusion. Academic advising, career planning, accessibility and disability support, and academic workshops are all under one roof. Before your first semester, you will be working with a team of advisors. Together, you’ll identify academic strengths and weakness, career aptitudes and life goals. This mentorship will continue through graduation.
Student achievement is at the Compass Center’s crux. You’ll be empowered to seek and find your own true north.
