The three recipients of the academic year’s UNCG Student Success Awards, sponsored by the Division of Student Success, have been announced.

The UNCG Advising Excellence Awards recognize the commitments of faculty and staff who make significant contributions to student success through the delivery of exemplary academic advising. Two UNCG Advising Excellence Awards are presented each spring term honoring a faculty advisor and a professional academic advisor. Both awards and the selection criteria have been modeled to reflect the regional and national advising awards established by the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).

The Outstanding First-Year Student Advocate Award recognizes and celebrates the efforts and significant contributions of UNCG faculty and staff who provide leadership in creating a positive transition to college and a successful learning environment for first-year students.

The recipients this year are:

Academic Advising Excellence, Faculty Advisor
Annemarie Sohler, Academic Professional Assistant Professor
Department of Biology, College of Arts & Sciences

Academic Advising Excellence, Professional Advisor
Eric Toler, Program Manager and Senior Academic Advisor
Lloyd International Honors College
