UNO Academic Advising Council Names Katelyn Bollich Advisor of the Month

Katelyn Bollich, Academic Advisor I, in the College of Business Administration, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of February.

The award was presented to Katelyn at the February Academic Advising Council meeting.

Katelyn’s nominator said, “Katelyn is amazing - not because she shares my name, but because she is so warm, encouraging, and enthusiastic. I have been lucky to work with her and learn from her this past month. She is supportive of students and wants them to succeed above and beyond what they think they can do. On the training side...Katelyn has been an amazing person to help me learn this position and to learn about CBA. She has an arsenal of quizzes and tests to keep you on your toes when you are learning. She will also send you the most complicated advising scenarios so that you can practice working through them. When you mess something up - she is so friendly about correcting you and is an amazing cheerleader. Katelyn is a rockstar at supporting the team to make sure that our students are supported and are feeling confident in their advising and academic plans. She is an amazing advisor and deserves to be recognized for all she does for CBA, students, and other advisors.”

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