Emily Cook, Academic Advisor I, in the College of Arts and Sciences for Math, Chemistry and Physics, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of June.

The award will be presented to Emily at the June Academic Advising Council meeting.

Emily’s nominators said, “Emily is a tremendous partner to CEHHS advising. Her ability to map out complex student plans of study is greatly appreciated and is so helpful to students as they are trying to navigate a complex degree plan. We have partnered a lot in the last year to support NOYCE students and I could not do this work without her expertise. I love working with Emily and I know students appreciate her attention to detail. Thank you, Emily, for all that you do for UNO!”

“Emily is an incredible partner for all advisors! She is very quick to respond to emails and she has wonderful explanation skills. She has been very patient with all of our questions, and we are so thankful to have her here at UNO!”

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