academic advisorsAcademic advisors from two University of Alabama at Birmingham schools received awards during the National Academic Advising Association annual meeting. Collat School of Business academic advisor Andrea Miller Pound received the Outstanding Advising Award, and Tyna Adams, advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences, received the Outstanding New Advisor Award.

Pound was one of just 10 advisors nationally to receive the Outstanding Advising Award, and Adams was one of only 14 advisors nationally to receive the Outstanding New Advisor Award.

These awards are designed to honor individuals and institutions making significant contributions to the improvement of academic advising. The goal of the NACADA Annual Awards Program is to encourage wider support and recognition for academic advising in colleges and universities by providing an opportunity for recognition of outstanding advising. An ultimate outcome of this program is to improve advising services for students.
