WSU’s Academic Advising Association (WSU ACADA) is now accepting nominations for Outstanding Achievements in Academic Advising by WSU faculty and professional advisors.
WSU ACADA is the primary organized group of professional and faculty advisors and student support personnel at WSU. One of the main objectives of this organization is to increase advising effectiveness at WSU by strengthening communication on academic advising issues within the academic community among faculty and professional advisors.
WSU ACADA would like to be the first to recognize outstanding advisors within the university by presenting a plaque and check to the recipient of each category at a spring award ceremony. The $1,000 award is intended to encourage professional development. WSU ACADA awards will be given in the following categories:
New Advisor category (advising for three or fewer years)
1. Academic Advising Primary Role – Individuals whose primary role at WSU is the direct delivery of academic advising services to students.
2. Faculty Academic Advising – Individuals whose primary responsibility is teaching and who spend a portion of their time at WSU providing academic advising services to students.
Advising category (advising for more than three years)
1. Academic Advising Primary Role – Individuals whose primary role at WSU is the direct delivery of academic advising services to students.
2. Faculty Academic Advising – Individuals whose primary responsibility is teaching and who spend a portion of their time at WSU providing academic advising services to students. Must have faculty status.

Anyone can nominate a WSU employee for an award. Please go to wsuacada.wsu.edu for the nomination form. Please note that the nomination deadline is Oct. 15, 2009.
