Campus registrar Grant Kerr said that over the past four years, the team has helped to significantly reduce the number of students on academic probation or required to withdraw from their programs.

The annual award recognizes faculty advisers, program counsellors and academic advising administrators who have made an outstanding contribution to undergraduate academic advising at the University of Guelph.

The team was chosen as this year’s recipient by U of G’s Council on Undergraduate Academic Advising selection committee.
