Outstanding Adviser Awards Criteria and Recipients
Recipients
Those who were nominated for and those who have received the outstanding adviser award have all demonstrated a caring attitude above and beyond the call of duty. Not only do these advisors care about their students, but they go out of their way to be available, to interact and to monitor student progress during their time with the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
These recipients also have a breadth of knowledge, including institutional regulations, policies and procedures, as well as information sources, referral procedures and career/life building skills. They are selected by their advisees, peers and administrators at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
