Lizzie Dement, academic advisor for the College of Business Administration, was recently named the “Awesome Advisor” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of October.

The award was presented to Lizzie at the monthly AAC meeting on Oct. 15.

Her nominator said, “Lizzie is such a great sport. We had a ton of new interested students from our corporate partners and she met with the students, evaluate their transcripts and helped them enroll in classes in a SUPER short timeline. She is caring and thoughtful and goes above and beyond to help everyone who she comes in contact with. She is such a great coworker and team member. We love having her on our team.”For being nominated as the AAC Awesome Advisor, Lizzie will receive a certificate and gift card to the UNO book store.

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.

Nominees must be at least .5 FTE whose primary role is academic advising. Once selected, advisors would not be eligible to receive the award again for one calendar year, although they can still be nominated in recognition of their work.
