Nominate Academic Advisor of the Year
Since 1991, WPI has presented the Board of Trustees’ Award for Outstanding Academic Advising, an award to recognize a professor who has provided exceptional academic support and guidance. (From 1991 through 1999, it was called the Tau Beta Pi Award for Outstanding Academic Advising.)
For many students, working closely with a faculty advisor to plan out courses, discuss academic progress, and chat about career opportunities has made the difference for a successful year at WPI. Being supportive and offering assistance to developing students are the cornerstone of the Academic Advisor award.
Nominations are being accepted through Monday, November 18.
To nominate a professor, email Paul Riley, director of academic advising, at preilly@wpi.edu and include the following information:

According to Riley, the committee is made up of the director of Academic Advising, two faculty members (one engineering, one non-engineering) appointed by CASL (Committee on Advising and Student Life), and three undergraduate students (two from Tau Beta Pi, one non-engineering from SGA).
