Last year鈥檚 winners
Last year鈥檚 winners were Kate Feldman, academic advisor for English and film, and Joanne Uleau, undergraduate academic advisor in the Environmental Engineering Program.
Kate Feldman, English and film
Feldman, who works primarily with English and film undergraduates in the Arts and Sciences advising center, says because of her background in the humanities, she particularly values working with students who are engaged in creative endeavors.
鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to see the films produced by the BFA film studies students and the writing produced by my literature and creative writing students,鈥� Feldman says. 鈥淭he level of work they鈥檙e producing blows me away.鈥�
As an advisor, Feldman helps her students to broaden the scope of what they're considering, learning first what her students love to do and then helping them connect that to career paths, all the while providing resources to support them.
Joanne Uleau, environmental engineering
In addition to her role in helping students navigate curriculum, course schedules, the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, intra-university transfers and changes of major, Uleau also serves on advising groups and councils in her department and across campus.
With her office located in a high-traffic part of the Engineering Center, it is easy for students to stop in without an appointment and get a quick answer from her.
鈥淪tudents are always coming and going from my office for anything from big issues related to academics or life to simple questions about class approvals or study abroad issues,鈥� Uleau says.
The fact that Urleau is a former teacher shows up in her advising style. She helps her students not by simply giving them easy answers but by guiding them and helping them learn to succeed on their own.
鈥淢y students stop in all the time to thank me for getting them through, and they say I鈥檝e saved them time and money. My response is always 鈥榶ou did all the work.鈥欌��
Nominations are due by 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1. Advising Council hopes to encourage nominations by keeping the form brief and to the point. .
