Rachael Brich, academic advisor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Health Careers Resource Center (HCRC), was recently named the “Advisor of the Month” by the Academic Advising Council (AAC) for the month of April.
Brich’s nominator said, “Rachael has been in the HCRC for a year now and only advising part of that time, but she is a rockstar! She has quickly picked up on the role and has excellent intuition. Students are already asking for her by name! I could not be more happy to work with her each day!”
“She is a very kind soul that doesn't shy away from a hard day of work. I have only heard positive things about her from the students that we share. She is always able to find the positive in a situation which helps lighten the mood and creates a team-building atmosphere.”
For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, Brich received a certificate and gift card.
