Nancy C. Walburn will receive the Outstanding First-Year Student Advocate award from the National Resource Center for the First Year Experience and Students in Transition during a reception and luncheon in Denver later this week. She and the nine other award winners are featured in the Feb. 5 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Walburn, who directs the UAB Division of General Studies, is cited for her role in the creation of the initial First-Year Experience (FYE) course at UAB. The FYE is a combination of programs, courses and support services designed to help freshman students to make a smooth transition from high school to college.
She also developed a Student Survival Guide for freshman undeclared majors as a way to help them adjust to college life.
