Abstract

Academic consultancy is an important educational tool in helping college students shake off negative thoughts that are planted in them by his/her peers or the environments that they are in, especially in the age of technology and the situation that social media are applied widely. Hence, consultants are needed for universities to assist the students in molding their future through counseling therapy. University consultants are seen as role model and highly respected by students. The trained consultants are expected to be friends with the students, listen to their complaints and shortcomings, and provide academic advice to help students shape the right life pursuits. But as far as the current China is concerned, the number of academic advisers is insufficient to perform the functions. Therefore, teachers who are in direct contact with students play an important role in regulating students’ behavior and discipline.
