Lacey LeGrand, Academic Advisor II, in the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Biology, was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of September.
The award was presented to Lacey at the September Academic Advising Council meeting.
Her nominator said, “Lacey is such an asset to advising at UNO! She's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her degree program. She's a great collaborator and makes it so easy to work with and better serve transfer students looking to move into biology and/or pre-med programs. She's also a fierce advocate for advisors on campus. She's truly a wonderful coworker and friend – we are so lucky to have her! “
For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, LeGrand received a certificate and gift card.
