Hanna Wanzenried Solberg, academic advisor, at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) 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 June.
The award was presented to Wanzenried Solberg at the June Academic Advising Council meeting.
Her nominator said,
“Hanna is an inclusive advisor and accommodates for students often to support their work and family life, often meeting with students over lunch and after work hours. She spends time getting to know her students, and students often stop in to say hi and tell her how their classes are going. They also stop her in the hallways to talk to her, and she knows them all by name when she's greeting them. Hanna is always encouraging to students and fellow staff members, and she works behind the scenes a lot to support students and campus initiatives/committees. She is a true advocate for students and is a great member of the UNO advising community.”
For being selected as the AAC Advisor of the Month, she received a certificate and gift card.
