Vanessa Hatfield-Reeker, academic advisor for the College of Information Science and Technology (CIST), was recently named November's “Awesome Advisor” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC). The award was presented to Vanessa at the monthly AAC meeting on Nov. 22, 2019.
Her nominator said, “Vanessa volunteered to write a nomination letter on behalf of UNO, and I am so thankful for her work to elevate advising at UNO. Without her, we would not have been able to nominate our two 2019 Advisors of the Year for a NACADA Region 6 award. ”
For being nominated as the AAC Awesome Advisor, Vanessa will receive a certificate and gift card to the UNO book store.
If you know one of your colleagues has gone above and beyond in their exceptional service to students, their colleagues and/or the university, nominate them for the Awesome Advisor Award.

About the "Awesome Advisor" Award

Each month, one advisor will be selected at random from the nominations to receive the award at the Academic Advising Council meeting. All nominees will be recognized by AAC for their work.
