The Eagle Excellence in Academic Advising Award recognizes UWL’s exceptional Academic Advisors and all the great work they do.
Students nominate instructors or faculty with whom they have had a particularly positive experience associated with:
-helping clarify and develop educational/career plans.
-assisting in guidance toward an academic program consistent with student's skills and interests.
-discussing and reinforcing linkages and relationships between instructional programs and careers and occupations.
-interpreting and providing rationale for academic policies, procedures, and requirements.
-informing students of special services available for academic assistance and other needs.
Students are sent a link to a nomination form in the Spring and a Provost's Office committee (Associate Vice Chancellor, Faculty Assistant to the Provost, and AAC/CS Director) reviews the nominations and selects the winner.
