The Undergraduate Academic Advising Awards are given each year to advisors \u201cwho have engaged students in the collaborative process of advising and have had a significant impact on students\u2019 academic careers.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Clinical associate professor of occupational therapy Nancy L<\/em>owenstein, who has been an advisor ever since coming to BU in 1999, knows the power of advising from her own college days, when she bonded with a professor through extracurricular activities. \u201cMy nonacademic life was even more important than my academic life,\u201d she says. \u201cIf my personal life was in a mess, my academics would be, also.\u201d Having an adult who was \u201cnot my parents\u201d\u2014to run such matters by was invaluable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Advising Terriers, Lowenstein says, has exposed her to pressures students face, allowing her to talk with them beyond just coursework: \u201croommate issues, health issues, family issues, and BU issues. Some take me up on this and others don\u2019t, but I always try to check in on these when we meet.\u201d<\/p>\n
