Please see the link below for today’s article on our response to the grading change policy, which we view as symptomatic of a bigger respect issue. Please trust that we are moving quickly behalf of advisors and student support staff.
It’s our pleasure to announce the 2019-2020 ACA Advising Awards! The ACA Awards & Recognition Committee historically awards three outstanding members ACA each year. This year is special for a lot of reasons (as I’m sure you well know), but it’s also special because due to ACA skipping this awards cycle last year, we get to distribute twice the awards this year! So, without further ado, here are the 2019-2020 ACA Advising Excellence Awards!
