Hello academic advisors,

We know that the end of the year is fast approaching! And we know this time of year can be stressful for graduating students who are still unsure about their plans for the future. We are reaching out to provide information about a wonderful, multi-disciplinary graduate program here at UO that many students are unfamiliar with: a master’s degree in Prevention Science!

Our programs are a great fit for students in psychology, sociology, health promotion, communication, public health, behavioral health, anthropology, family and human services, nutrition, etc. who are seeking a graduate education related to promoting the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Our program provides training in the foundations, design, and evaluation of interventions aimed at reducing risk and enhancing protective factors in children, youth, and families, and building resilient communities. The best part—our admissions cycle for our 1-year MEd degree or 2-year MS degree is open until June 30^th!

If you have any students who might be interested in learning more about the field of prevention science and graduate school opportunities in this field, please share the information below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your consideration,

2020 Advisor Awards Program

Bil Advisor Awards, Uncategorized January 14, 2020February 2, 2024

In recognition of the significant role undergraduate advising/mentoring plays in fostering academic excellence at the University of Oregon, the Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (UESS) and the All-Campus Advising Association (ACAA) annually collaborates to provide two undergraduate advising/mentoring awards. This program highlights the outstanding faculty and professional advising/mentoring on the University of Oregon campus.

One faculty advisor and one professional advisor will receive a $2000 award each, generously provided by UESS. The recipients who best exhibit the qualities associated with excellent advising will be recognized at an awards brunch on Thursday, May 28th, 2020.

Faculty, students, staff, and officers of administration are welcome to nominate faculty and professional advisors who exemplify excellence in advising and meet the following eligibility requirements:

Outstanding Professional Advisor: Any professional whose job dictates that the majority of his/her responsibilities are in undergraduate advising.
Outstanding Faculty Advisor: Any appointed tenure track, non-tenure track, or adjunct faculty member who mentors or advises undergraduate students in addition to significant teaching and research responsibilities.

If you need to look up who your advisor is or which department or office they work in, use the Find an Advisor page.

If you have questions, please contact advisingawards@uoregon.edu.

The evaluation process: Nominations are an important part of this process, therefore the more information provided in the nomination, the better. Finalists will be narrowed down by the selection committee and ask to submit an advising philosophy to determine the winners of the award. All nominated advisors will be notified of their nomination alongside award winners in early May.
