The award was presented to Goo at the monthly AAC meeting on Sept. 16.

His nominator said, "Minsoo's positive attitude and funny memes are a ray of light in the ACDC office! He's willing to take on new tasks to help the team. He's authentic and makes our job better everyday! We're lucky to have an advisor like Minsoo for our students."

For being nominated as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Goo will receive a certificate and gift card to the UNO Bookstore.

Nominate an Advisor for the "Awesome Advisor Award"

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! 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.

To nominate an academic advisor, complete the nomination form on the AAC website.
