Early Childhood Advising
Please see the table below to determine who is your advisor and their contact information.
If you have general questions about Early Childhood Studies (ECS) programs or you are not sure which advisor you should contact, please email Dr. Ayumi Nagase at nagasea@sonoma.edu or Giselle Perry at perryg@sonoma.edu.
If you have general questions about the ECE MA program, please email Dr. Chiara Bacigalupa at chiara.bacigalupa@sonoma.edu.
We recommend that you talk to your advisor about registration early in the semester. Scheduling a meeting within the two weeks before registration is likely to be impossible due to the volume of requests that are received then.
