The award will be presented to Stout at the October Academic Advising Council meeting.

Stout’s nominator said, “Cathy is a terrific addition to our team. She started her position during peak advising in Spring 2024. I love her can-do attitude, she's always asking great questions and learning new things very quickly. She has a wonderful way of connecting with students and provides thoughtful guidance and advice. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every student feels valued and heard, no matter the complexity of their academics or personal challenges. Cathy takes her time to understand each student's unique background, academic goals, and personal aspirations, providing personalized advice that empowers students to make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures.”

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