UNO Academic Advising Council Names Angie Centarri Advisor of the Month

Angie Centarri, Academic Advisor in the Department of Psychology, was recently named the "Awesome Advisor" by the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of September. Angie was nominated by her peers for her dedication to student success.

The award was presented to Angie at the monthly AAC meeting on Sept. 17.

Her nominator said, "Angie has only been at UNO for a little over 8 months, but she has brought with her an incredible attitude of service to students. She is flexible and creative in her troubleshooting sessions with students, but also excels in planning down to the detail for their academic goals. Beyond the day to day advising duties, Angie frequently asks how she can be of help to the College office, asking if there are projects we need help with. She even took on a volunteer project of putting together a plan and resources to allow the College advisors to learn Advising as Coaching techniques, simply because she knew she could be of help. Whether taking responsibility for the recruitment, retention, or graduation of her students, or helping with projects for the College office, Angie brings enthusiasm, humor, and excellence. The Psychology students and the College of Arts and Sciences are so grateful to have Angie on our teams!"

For being nominated as the AAC Awesome Advisor, Angie will receive a certificate and gift card.
