UNO Academic Advising Council Names Corbyn Ayer Advisor of the Month

Corbyn Ayer, Academic Advisor I, 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 February.

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

Ayer’s nominator said, “Corbyn has been a fantastic addition to our unit. Advising majors in CEHHS involves a lot of coordination between many academic units on campus, continuously advocating for students, and creative problem-solving to get class schedules to work together. Corbyn has jumped right in and eagerly risen to the challenge. I appreciate her positive attitude, desire to learn, how she's always asking questions, her teamwork approach, and overall genuine desire to support students and staff alike. We can trust if Corbyn has been assigned a task it will get done and done well. She's been a breath of fresh air for our office, adding much needed laughter and team building activities. To quote a common office saying in RH 204, 'Yes. Queen'.”

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