UNO Academic Advising Council Names Jeannine Nyangira Advisor of the Month

Jeannine Nyangira, Advisor/Internship Coordinator, in the College of Arts and Sciences was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of March.

The award was presented to Jeannine at the March Academic Advising Council meeting.

Her nominator said, "Jeannine is always ready to lend a helping hand, even when her hands are full! She is an advisor and internship coordinator, and ready to roll with the major changes and big surprises that both roles will encounter. If you've got a question Jeannine probably has an answer, and the documentation on hand to back it up. She's also just a genuinely very sweet person with something nice to say every time you see her. I love having the opportunity to work with her!”

For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Nyangira will receive a certificate and gift card.
