Do you know, or have you ever known, a faculty advisor who really loves advising? Or maybe you know of someone who has been an advocate for faculty advising. You can honor that person here!

The Faculty Advising Commission is launching "Who's Who Among Faculty Advisors" -- a new project on this Web site -- and we really want your help for it to succeed. All you need to do is send us a picture of any faculty advisor, or supporter of faculty advising, that you would like to honor, together with a description of what they have done for faculty advising (see suggested format below). Individuals are posted in two categories — current faculty advisors and former faculty advisors who have moved on to other positions.

We welcome all entries for posting as this is not a competitive award process. Great care will be used to help make all submissions suitable for posting. You may send us information about yourself, a colleague, or perhaps your own faculty advisor when you went to college. We have even created a special section honoring faculty advisors throughout history. So if you love doing research, send us what you find about notable advisors from the past. We want to make this list as diverse as possible.

Read the current listings linked below to get a better idea of what we're looking for. Then, send your entries as soon as possible to Kathy Stockwell (stockwel@fvtc.edu), Chair of the Faculty Advising Commission. Pass this Web site on to your colleagues. Thanks for your participation!

Biographical Information or philosophy of advising — (Although there's no limit to the number of words, this space isn't intended for posting someone's curriculum vitae. Write an engaging narrative about notable contributions the person has made to faculty advising or the person's philosophy of advising. This could include great advising service to students as well as a brief description of research and publication in the field of faculty advising. We encourage you to interview people who know this person and use their quotations accordingly.)
