Award for Excellence in Academic Advising
Purpose
The Award for Excellence in Academic Advising is presented to honor a full-time faculty member who demonstrates excellence in academic advising, a commitment to advisees at the undergraduate and/or graduate levels, and who significantly and positively impacts the education, personal and professional development, and success of their advisees.
This award is given to acknowledge exemplary academic advising and as an encouragement to all faculty advisors to persist in their efforts to help students achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals.
Fairmont State University recognizes that advising is a teaching opportunity beyond course selection that requires the knowledge and use of a variety of academic advising approaches and techniques.
Eligibility
1. All Fairmont State University full-time faculty advisors with a minimum of two years of service as an academic advisor are eligible for nomination.
2. Previous winners of the Award for Excellence in Academic Advising Award are not eligible.
Award
$500
Nomination Process
Nominations can be submitted by students, faculty members, school chairs, administrators, and staff members. No anonymous nominations will be accepted.
Send nomination letters to Pamela Stephens at Pamela.Stephens@fairmontstate.edu
Selection Process
The selection committee, comprised of members of the Fairmont Advising Network (FAN), reviews all nominations submitted to ensure the nominees’ qualities and achievements demonstrate excellence and commitment to high-quality academic advising.
The selection committee will consider clarity, specificity, and examples that illustrate the faculty advisor’s use of academic advising practices and techniques that respond to the academic and professional needs of their advisee population. Availability of the faculty advisor to their students, faculty, and staff will also be considered.
Awards will be presented during the annual Awards Banquet in April.
Deadline
Nominations will not be accepted after Thursday, April 3, 2025.
