Chris Scott, Assistant Director of Academic Advising in the College Education, Health, and Human Sciences, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of November.
The award will be presented to Chris at the November Academic Advising Council meeting.
Chris’s nominator said, “Chris is an amazing advisor, Assistant Director of Academic Advising, and teammate. I'm so happy we could keep one of our own in CEHHS. He really stepped right in and hit the ground running. I appreciate his wider knowledge of UNO and having us examine our process - making us ask "but why?". He's already made positive changes in our unit. Kudos to Chris for his work and continuing example of excellence in advising!” For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Scott will receive a certificate and gift card.
