The Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (UESS) and the All-Campus Advising Association (ACAA) invite nominations for the annual UO Excellence in Undergraduate Advising Awards.  One professional advisor and one faculty advisor will each receive a $2,000 award and be recognized at an awards ceremony on Thursday, May 28th, 2020.

Faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to nominate undergraduate advisors or mentors who demonstrate the qualities and practices associated with outstanding advising<http://acaa.uoregon.edu/awards/definition-of-excellence-in-advising/>.  The ACAA lists “educational integrity, fostering academic excellence, support of students, cultural competency and professional development” as traits that define excellence in advising. You can read more about the definition of excellence in advising here: https://acaa.uoregon.edu/awards/definition-of-excellence-in-advising/

Two awards will be given:

●   Outstanding Professional Advisor: Any professional whose job dictates that the majority of their responsibilities are in undergraduate advising.

●    Outstanding Faculty Advisor: Any appointed tenure-track, non-tenure-track, or pro tem faculty member who mentors or advises undergraduate students in addition to holding significant teaching and research responsibilities.

Nominations are due February 14th.  A selection committee comprised of faculty and staff members will review all nominations received. Finalists will be asked to provide an advising philosophy statement to determine the awardees. More information and the link to nominate advisors can be found at https://acaa.uoregon.edu/awards/awards-program-information/.
