Advising Awards: Call for Nominations
In order to encourage, acknowledge, and reward excellence in professional academic
advising, the Office of the Vice President for Instruction coordinates the annual
UGA Outstanding Undergraduate Academic Advisor Awards.
One award will be given to:
• an experienced professional advisor
• a new advisor
• an advising administrator.
• One or more advisors who demonstrate excellence in advising special populations
will also be recognized.
Recipients in all categories will be recognized at the Summer Celebration for Advisors
hosted by the Office of the Vice President for Instruction. In addition, those selected
in the outstanding new advisor, outstanding professional advisor, and outstanding
advising administrator categories will be nominated for the equivalent award given
by the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).
Nominations are only accepted from Dean’s offices, the Exploratory Center, and the Pre-Professional Advising Office. All University
of Georgia locations at which undergraduate students are enrolled and advised are
eligible. Please limit the number of nominees from your unit to three per category.
Previous winners of each award are not eligible for nomination again for five years
after their first award. Nominees may be selected directly by Dean’s offices or in
consultation with advising offices and/or students.
All nomination materials should be submitted to the Director of University Academic
Advising Services, Brennen Salmon, at advising@uga.edu by Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. Late nominations cannot be accepted. Recipients will be chosen by a selection committee
comprised of past Outstanding Academic Advising award winners and three student representatives
from UGA’s Student Government Association.
