2024 ACAA Advising Awards & Recognition Process

The All-Campus Advising Association welcomes nominations for the 2023-24 ACAA Awards!

The awards recognize excellence in undergraduate advising provided by staff, faculty, and student-workers at the UO. This year, the ACAA is expanding its list of awards to better honor the university’s wide variety of advisors and their diverse contributions to student success. Faculty, students, staff, and alumni are all encouraged to nominate undergraduate advisors or mentors who demonstrate the qualities and practices associated with outstanding advising, which the ACAA defines as “educational integrity, fostering academic excellence, support of students, cultural competency, and professional development.” Specific criteria for each award and the nomination portal can be found here: ACAA Award Criteria.

Nominations are due by Friday, February 23. Please note: nominators may submit only one nomination per award.
