Dustin Pendley, Academic Advisor, at the College of Arts and Sciences, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of November.

The award was presented to Pendley at the November Academic Advising Council meeting.

Pendley’s nominator said, “Dustin advised all students who are either interested in or are pursuing the English minor. His advice for students is based on their interests and aspirations. The number of our English minors has grown over the last couple of years and part of the credit for this rise should go to Dustin and his generous investment of time and energy in students.”

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