Excellence In Advising Awards
These awards were established by the Undergraduate Student Government's Academic Assembly, with support from the Office of Undergraduate Education, to encourage and reward advising excellence. Awards are given in two categories: faculty members and professional academic advisers. All current, full-time employees with at least two years of University service who fit into one of these categories are eligible. Nominees are evaluated on their impact in the following categories: general advising, academic guidance, career guidance, enthusiasm, and assistance in decision making.
