Alumni Award for Excellence in Academic Advising
Established in 1989 by the Alumni Association, the Award for Excellence in Academic Advising is presented annually by the Office of the Provost to recognize Virginia Tech faculty who have been particularly dedicated to and effective in the advising of undergraduate and graduate students. In 2001, the award was expanded and the name changed to Alumni Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Academic Advising and Alumni Award for Excellence in Graduate Academic Advising, with one award given in each category. Recipients may be nominated by university faculty or students, are selected by a committee of former award winners and are awarded a $2,000 cash prize.
