Amy Hackett, a senior academic adviser in CEHD Students Services, has been awarded the prestigious University of Minnesota John Tate Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising for 2012-13. The award is named in honor of John Tate, professor of physics and first dean of University College (1930-41).
The Tate Awards serve to recognize and reward high-quality academic advising. They call attention to the contribution academic advising makes to helping students formulate and achieve intellectual, career, and personal goals. By highlighting examples of outstanding advising, the Tate Awards identify professional models and celebrate the role that academic advising plays in the University’s educational mission.
Hackett was honored March 14 with this year’s other Tate winners at the 2013 John Tate Academic Advising Conference & Awards Ceremony at the University Hotel.
