Recognition for Outstanding Advising and Student Services Staff on Campus 

Support from the advising and student services community plays a critical role in student engagement, belonging, and success and because advising matters at Berkeley, we believe exceptional performance deserves recognition and visibility across campus.

From opportunities to self-evaluate your own excellence as an advisor or student services provider, to our annual Excellence in Advising Award program, the Advising Strategy & Training program provides a number of opportunities to uplift extraordinary examples of support for student success on the Berkeley campus. For examples, see the recognition program examples linked on this page.
