Prior to 1991-92 AY outstanding student advisors were recognized by individual Colleges and Schools in various ways. President Suzuki instituted a University program to recognize and salute the valued contributions of advisors to our entire student body.
All faculty and staff of the College of Engineering are eligible for this honor. The College solicits nominations from students, faculty, and staff, with a committee composed of previous awardees selecting the college candidate. We believe that educators facilitate student learning by both teaching and advising. We seek to identify those individuals advancing student performance and success by sharing best practices not only with their students but also with colleagues.
The Outstanding Advisor Plaque is on display in the College
Offices.

2007 Outstanding Academic Advisors Honored

The 2007 Outstanding Academic
Advisors were each honored for their dedication to students.
|
|

Sometimes it's for being the cheerful
and supportive person in the office or the professor who sends
out constant e-mails about job opportunities. It could also be
the professor who is spotted working on a Saturday by her students
or the one who convinces his student to pursue grad school.
The reasons why some staff and faculty are awarded
Outstanding Academic Advisor of the Year are plentiful and diverse.
However, they all share similar characteristics in that they
go above and beyond supporting their students' endeavors.
On May 17, more than 100 people came together to
honor this year's exemplary group at the 2007 Outstanding Academic
Advisers Awards. President Michael Ortiz and Provost Tomas Morales
hosted a reception for the honorees at the CLA Building's Heritage
Conference Center.
The Outstanding Academic Advisor Awards recognize
faculty and staff members who excel in helping students reach
their potentials. The awardees are each chosen by faculty, staff
and students from their college or division.

In addition the Renaissance
Scholars program in the Division of Student Affairs was selected
as the Outstanding Advising Program of the Year.
Each award winner is chosen by faculty, staff
and students from their college or division. |

President Pays
Tribute to Outstanding Academic Advisers
All of the faculty and staff members honored
this year with Outstanding Academic Advisers Awards have something
in common, according to the students and colleagues who nominated
them. These individuals are devoted to their students, passionate
about academic success and always go above and beyond the job
description of an adviser to make a difference in students’ lives. |
President Michael Ortiz honored the Outstanding Academic
Advisers for their dedication to students with a ceremony and reception
on May 27 at the CLA Building’s Heritage Conference Center.
“There are so many things related to good advising – student persistence,
graduation rate and clarification of what an individual wants to do with their
life,” said Ortiz. “Good advisers sit with students to discuss what
their professional aspirations are and guide them to make the right choices in
reaching those aspirations.”
“I know that the students at Cal Poly Pomona are extremely delighted with
the quality of advising they get in general, but the individuals we are recognizing
today are outstanding examples of that,” he said.
This year’s outstanding advisers are:
- Gerald E. Hackett, College of Agriculture
- Robert L. Hurt, College of Business Administration
- Kamran Abedini, College of Engineering
- Charles E. Loggins, College of Environmental Design
- Lisa Nelson, College of Letters, Arts & Social Sciences
- Herb Fynewever, College of Science
- Michael Godfrey, Collins School of Hospitality Management
- Kenneth M. Stahl, College of Education & Integrative Studies
- Gretchen Anderson, Student Affairs
In addition,
Educational Equity Services and the Educational Opportunity
Program was selected as the Outstanding Advising Program of
the Year.
The honorees were introduced by their college/school dean and a student who
nominated them. Upon accepting the award, each honoree expressed their gratitude
for the award and appreciation of advising.
“I’ve always thought that teaching and advising are seamless because we engage
people, not just students in a classroom,” said Stahl.
Anderson, who has worked in Admissions & Outreach for nine years and, prior
to that, worked in the University Advising Center for seven years, said she
enjoys her job because she loves the students she meets with each day.
