Michelle Quick, Academic Advisor, in the College of Arts and Sciences, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of July.

The award was presented to Quick at the July Academic Advising Council meeting.

Quick’s nominator said, “Michelle is amazing! Even when she's not scheduled to work one of our Enrollment Day events, she still stops by to see if we need help. Last week she identified that we missed a student on our sign-up sheet, so she got them to the right spot, researched their academic history, and put together their welcome packet & course recommendations in just a few minutes! She's also spent a ton of time and effort building supplementary support documents for incoming students. They are packed full of useful information about the campus and individual departments, and they're beautiful to boot! She is a huge asset to CAS and a lovely person all around.”

For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Quick received a certificate and gift card.
