Every year, the Academic Advising Council recognizes the top advisers and faculty advisers here at the U of A. The applicants are nominated by their department, and the Academic Advising Council will select the top nominee in each category.
There are four categories through the National Academic Advising Association: Outstanding New Adviser, Outstanding New Faculty Adviser, Outstanding Adviser and Outstanding Faculty Adviser. There are also three campus award categories: Innovative Advising, Leading With Brilliance and Silo-Busting.
If you want to nominate someone for these awards, submit an application detailing the extent to which your nominee meets the application criteria.
To read the application criteria and nominate an adviser, please visit the website. The deadline to nominate is at 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2. Help the AAC recognize and appreciate our hard-working advisers!
