Jana Kay Lunstad Receives Advising Institute Scholarship

Jana Kay Lunstad, undergraduate academic advisor at Utah State University in the office of University Advising and Transfer Services, is the recipient of an Academic Advising Summer Institute Scholarship. The institute is sponsored by the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).

 

Lunstad will attend the institute this summer in either St. Paul, Minn., or Colorado Spring, Co., for a week-long, intensive program that helps advising administrators, faculty, professional advisors and advising program directors develop specific strategies for improvement of advising at institutions of higher learning. Lunstad is one of two individuals honored with this scholarship award in a nationwide competition this year.

 

Approximately 150 professionals from the United States and Canada participate in general sessions, workshops and topical sessions at each institute, to increase their understanding of the important role advising plays on campuses. Individuals are also assigned to small group discussion sessions in which individual action plans are developed, focusing on the enhancement or implementation of quality programs on their campuses.
