The Office of Undergraduate Studies has named Stephanie Jackson, Academic Advisor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, as the Outstanding Undergraduate Academic Advisor, Primary Role. Jackson is currently serving as President of the Executive Board that steers the Georgia Tech Academic Advising Network (GTAAN).
The Outstanding Undergraduate Academic Advisor Awards are institute-wide awards recognizing a staff and faculty member who render outstanding performance in undergraduate academic advising. Jackson will be honored at Georgia Tech's annual Faculty/Staff Honors Luncheon in April.
Acting Chair of the School, Brian Woodall said, "Stephanie assumed a position for which the bar had been set at an extremely high level by her predecessors, yet she has done nothing but impress. Indeed, she has built upon and advanced the work of her able predecessors such that undergraduate advising in the Nunn School is held up as a model for emulation by other units of the Ivan Allen College and the Institute at large. "
Woodall notes that Jackson's exceptional work is evident not only in her leadership of GTAAN but also by the feedback he hears from "literally, dozens of students."
Jackson, who joined the School in 2005, provides student services support to majors in International Affairs, International Affairs/Modern Languages, and Economics/International Affairs, as well as career guidance to all undergraduate and graduate students within the Nunn School. She also serves as International Plan Coordinator.
