Corbyn Ayer, Academic Advisor II, in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences (CEHHS), was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of November.
The award was presented to Ayer at the November Academic Advising Council meeting.
Ayer’s nominator said, “Corbyn is such a fantastic human being and a wonderful addition to UNO’s outstanding advising team. She has taken on so much this academic year - providing leadership within AAC, SAC, and the General Education Revision efforts - all while taking on a larger caseload to support students in Secondary Education."
The nominator continued, "Her depth of knowledge and willingness to collaborate have been invaluable, especially as we’ve co-advised several majors this year. Corbyn consistently asks insightful questions in department meetings that help us think critically and make more informed decisions. She also played a key role in helping me onboard our new student worker. Corbyn truly goes above and beyond in everything she does, always bringing a positive attitude and genuine care for both students and colleagues. Our office and college are so fortunate to benefit from her dedication, passion, and warmth."
For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Ayer received a certificate and gift card.
