Advisors recognized at annual Ken Freedman Outstanding Advisor Awards luncheon

On Friday, February 24th, advisors across campus gathered to recognize Jamie Wheeler, an advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences Humanities Community, and Dr. Sebastian Bryson, a professor in the Civil Engineering department in the College of Engineering, as the recipients of the 2012 Ken Freedman Outstanding Advisor awards.

Each year, one University of Kentucky faculty member and one University of Kentucky staff member are presented with the Ken Freedman Outstanding Advisor Award to recognize outstanding service in the field of academic advising. Thirty-three professional and faculty advisors have been recognized since the award's founding in 1994. The Ken Freedman Outstanding Advisor Awards are sponsored by the UK Advising Network and the Office of the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education and are named in honor of Ken Freedman, who served as a professional advisor at UK for 15 years prior to his death in 2001.
