2023 ACAA Advising Awards

The Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (UESS) and the All-Campus Advising Association (ACAA) invites nominations for the annual UO Excellence in Undergraduate Advising Awards.

Faculty, students, staff, and alumni are all encouraged to nominate undergraduate advisors or mentors who demonstrate the qualities and practices associated with outstanding 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/

One professional advisor and one faculty advisor will be selected as the 2022 recipients of Excellence in Undergraduate Advising awards.  Each will receive a $2,000 award and be recognized at an awards ceremony.

  •       Outstanding Professional Advisor: Any professional whose job dictates that the majority of his/her responsibilities are in undergraduate advising.
  •       Outstanding Faculty Advisor: Any appointed tenure-track, non-tenure-track, or pro tempore faculty member who mentors or advises undergraduate students in addition to holding significant teaching and research responsibilities.
