|
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. |
