Nomination form [MS Word]
The Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs established the Undergraduate Academic Advising Awards in 2002 to recognize the accomplishments and commitment of those dedicated to helping students succeed through academic advising. Since the establishment of the original award, three more have been added to acknowledge those distinguished professionals whose advising responsibilities may not be their only role with the University. The awards and criteria have been modeled to reflect the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) awards and Council for the Advancement of Standards standards for exemplary advising practices. The Division of Undergraduate Academic Program’s hope is that winners of NC State’s award winners will be carried forth in nomination to the NACADA awards. The awards and their criteria are as follows:
The Barbara Soloman award is given in recognition of dedicated service to students in a primary advisory role. The winner of this award will be a professional adviser who contributes to student success by going the extra mile to provide intrusive, holistic and developmentally sensitive guidance. Advising load, personal philosophy of advising, commitment to advocacy for students, and evidence of student success and learning will be considered for this award.
The New Adviser award is given in recognition of either a faculty adviser or primary role adviser who has been employed at North Carolina State University less than three years. The winner will be someone who shows evidence of a strong commitment to promoting student success through developing relationships with students, becoming aware of policies and procedures, referring students to resources for assistance, and commitment to professional development as an adviser. Advising load, personal philosophy of advising, commitment to advocacy for students, and evidence of student success and learning will be considered for this award.
The Faculty Adviser award is given in recognition of an adviser whose primary responsibility is as a teaching/researching faculty member. The winner of this award will exhibit a strong commitment to student success through availability to advisees, commitment to guiding students in career and academic paths, and awareness of policies and procedures. Advising load, personal philosophy of advising, commitment to advocacy for students, and evidence of student success and learning will be considered for this award.
Finally, the Advising Administrator award is given in recognition of an administrator who has oversight of an advising unit. The winner of this award will show advocacy for advisers in their charge, a commitment to understanding the advising process and student learning, and a commitment to using assessment to continuously improve their unit’s advising process. Administrator’s personal philosophy of advising, knowledge of advising and student learning and development literature, articulation of appropriate advising vision, and evidence of results-based improvements will be considered for this award.
