About the awards
The goal of career and academic advising is to assist students in assessing their interests and abilities, examining their educational and career goals, making decisions, and developing short- and long-term plans to help them meet their objectives (CAS Standards and Guidelines, 2012).
To recognize the importance of effective career decisions and the faculty and staff who support students in the career-planning process, CiM annually presents three awards: a program, a faculty advisor, and a staff award.
