Awards

Do you have an advisor-colleague who habitually goes above and beyond in their practice?  Do you work beside an outstanding advising administrator who challenges your team to be their best? Consider nominating your colleague for one of KASADA’s annual advising awards! 

Nomination Period: March 1 - April 14

Nominations for these awards must be made by Kent State University staff and/or faculty. At this time, University Advising's student-nomination process for advisor recognition - formerly known as the Terry Kuhn Distinguished Undergraduate Advising Award - is on hiatus. We hold hope that a university-funded platform for collecting student narratives in recognition of remarkable advising professionals may return again soon.
