Jeannie Stumne, director of CEHD Career Services, has been awarded the prestigious University of Minnesota John Tate Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising for 2011-12. 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. Stumne will be honored with this year’s other Tate winners at the 2012 John Tate Academic Advising Conference & Awards Ceremony on March 8 at the University Hotel.
