The awards have been given out since 1989 to recognize exemplary advisors. Two awards are given: One for the full-time faculty member whose primary advising responsibility is advising undergraduate students and one for the full-time professional staff academic advisor who both advises undergraduate students and holds a UofL Master Advisor Certificate (MAC).

Among the factors considered are perception by colleagues of nominee’s advising skills; interpersonal skills; mastery of institutional regulations, policies and procedures; and commitment to integration of academic advising with career- and life-planning goals. Nominations for the 2014-2015 winners were accepted during the Fall 2014 semester.
