Nominations are now open for the UO Excellence in Undergraduate Advising Awards, given annually to a faculty advisor and a professional advisor who have made a positive difference in the student experience.

Nominations are due Friday, March 17; nominees will be notified by email. To be considered, nominees must submit an application that includes an advising/mentoring philosophy statement and at least one letter of recommendation.

A committee comprised of faculty members, professional advisors and university administrators will review applications. Two awards will be given:

●   Outstanding professional advisor: any professional whose job dictates that the majority of his or her responsibilities are in undergraduate advising.

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

Each recipient gets a $2,000 award and will be recognized at an awards ceremony on  June 1. The Division of Undergraduate Studies and the All-Campus Advising Association sponsor the annual UO Excellence in Undergraduate Advising Awards. 

Questions can be sent to advisingawards@uoregon.edu. More information and the link to nominate advisors can be found at http://acaa.uoregon.edu/awards/awards-program-information/.
