These awards recognize and encourage quality advising of LAS undergraduates. The award recipients are selected by the LAS Council, the student service organization of the College, and forwards recommendations to the Dean of the College. The LAS Council surveys students about their academic advisors. The Council then contacts Departments with highly rated advisors and asks that they send in a nomination package. The Department may, at its own discretion, nominate an advisor for this award as well.
One award in each of the two categories may be given each year: (1) Advisors of small departments who advise less than 100 students, and (2) Advisors of large departments who advise more than 100 students. Departments are encouraged to submit one nomination.
Recipients receive a $1000 award, a $1000 salary increment and a commemorative plaque at the LAS Recognition of Teaching Excellence.
- An advisor of LAS undergraduates.
- A faculty member or academic professional in an academic unit for four (4) full semesters.

- Once a person has received the award he or she will not be eligible for nomination during the next five-year period. If selected for the award a second time, the advisor is eligible for the cash award without the salary increment.
- Impact on students
- Consistent excellence in academic advising
