Madison Bowman, Academic Advisor I, in the UNO College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media's School of the Arts, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of January.
The award was presented to Madison at the January Academic Advising Council meeting.
Madison’s nominator said, “Madison serves as the advisor for the School of the Arts. She works with students in Art/Art History, Theatre, and Writer's Workshop. This means that she has had to learn the curricula of three different academic units, and she has risen to the challenge. In addition to her advising duties, Madison has been involved with recruitment/retention efforts and assistance in the art gallery. Madison demonstrates a student-centered approach and it is evident that students trust her expertise and seek her, not only for course advising. She develops meaningful relationships with the students and she understands the importance of quality advising to retain students and guide them to graduation.”
For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Bowman received a certificate and gift card.
