Membership in UAC is separate from enrollment in the UACBulletin (UAC Bull) listserv.


 Programs and Meetings

The sponsorship and support of the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Programs and Academic Services and the Association of Former Students has allowed UAC to offer numerous programs. At least three programs are held each semester which offer not only information on advising, training, and professional development, but university and college policies as well. 

Membership

Membership and opportunities for leadership are open to all faculty, administrators, professional staff, or any person interested in student advising and counseling. At present, there is no charge for membership in the University Advisors and Counselors. 

UAC-BULL Listserv

The UAC community uses the UAC-BULL listserv to distribute important information, send program and activity announcements, ask for input and assistance and to share their knowledge, resources, experience and advice. [A listserv is an email distribution list which allows users to send a single electronic message to multiple individuals who subscribe to participate in the list.] Click here for more info.

Awards and Recognition

In 1989, Regent Royce Wisenbaker was instrumental in establishing the Ed Guthrie Advisor Award. This award recognizes the efforts of faculty and staff members who exemplify former advisor Dr. Ed Guthrie’s spirit and concern for students’ welfare combined with skillful and insightful advisement. Each spring, the University Advisors and Counselors honor one or more individuals as the recipient(s) of the distinguished award. Recipients are publicly honored and receive both a monetary award and plaque at an awards ceremony. In addition, Texas A&M has determined that a need exists to recognize and give merit and incentives to faculty and staff for their roles as advisors and counselors.

The purpose of the Margaret Annette Peters Advising Award, established in 2000, is to recognize and reward those faculty / administrators who embody the spirit of caring, compassionate, and genuine concern for the welfare of individual students.

On the region and national level, the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) also recognizes outstanding advising programs and personnel. This organization annually identifies individuals who have demonstrated qualities associated with superior academic advising of students or outstanding academic advising administration.
