The 2007-2008 USI
Outstanding Advisor Award winners are Dr. Shelly B. Blunt,
associate professor of chemistry; Margaret M. Felton,
instructor in psychology; Robert W. Jeffers, instructor in
advertising; Renee M. Rowland, lead advisor in the University
Division; and Linda M. Trible, academic coordinator in the
Pott College of Science and Engineering.
Winners were selected by the Faculty Senate’s Faculty Awards for
Service, Teaching, and Research Committee. Dr. Brian Posler,
assistant vice president for Academic Affairs, said the selection
committee had a difficult time choosing among the high number of
strong nominees.
“These five winners are indicative of the very best academic
advisors on campus,” he said. “Drawn from the faculty,
administrators, and our corps of professional advisors, they show
how committed we are to our students here at USI.”
The winners were selected based on outstanding performance in these
areas:
• Strong
interpersonal skills
• Availability to advisees, faculty, or staff
• Frequency of contact with advisees
• Appropriate referral activity
• Use and dissemination of appropriate information sources
• Caring, helpful attitude toward advisees, faculty, and staff
• Monitoring of student progress toward academic and career
goals
• Mastery of institutional regulations, policies, and procedures
The award comes with a $1,000 prize.
Winners may elect to receive the money as supplementary pay or as
funds available to reimburse professional development.
