UNO Academic Advising Council Names Farida Majid Advisor of the Month

Farida Majid, Director of Undergraduate Advising in the College of Information Science & Technology, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of October.

The award will be presented to Farida at the October Academic Advising Council meeting.

Farida’s nominator said, “Farida meets with as many students as she can meet with in a day. This can be especially hard since we are down to only two undergraduate Advisors. Farida also receives many positive comments and requests from students who meet with her or want to meet with her.” For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Majid will receive a certificate and gift card.

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 Advisor of the Month 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.
