Three Washington State University advisors have received the highest awards possible from their local WSU Academic Advising Association (ACADA). Samantha Gizerian received the Outstanding Achievement in Academic Advising award in the “faculty category.” The “primary role” category, for those with more than three years of experience in the field, goes to Veronica Mendez- Liaina. The Outstanding Achievement in Academic Advising in the “new advisory category,” for those with three or fewer years of advising experience goes to Tina Krauss.
Together the award winners advise more than 800 undergraduates each year. They all are credited with showing an incredible investment in their students, going above and beyond their required duties and working in sync with the faculty in their departments to make sure each student is achieving their potential and are involved in the WSU community.
“ACADA is proud to support student success by recognizing outstanding advisors at WSU. Each of the award winners have demonstrated excellence in academic advising,” said Yung-Hwa Anna Chow, awards co-chair. “They see the opportunity to support students as an honor, both in assisting students toward their career and life goals and in their commitment towards student success and retention.”
The awardees will be recognized at the Office of Undergraduate Education Award Ceremony in April. For more information on these and previous WSU ACADA awardees, visit: http://www.wsuacada.org
