Session of 1999
SENATE RESOLUTION No. 1812
A Resolution congratulating and commending Washburn University's
Academic Advising Program.
WHEREAS, Washburn University's Academic Advising Program has
received the 1998 Outstanding Institutional Advising Program Award at
the annual conference of the National Academic Advising Association;
and
WHEREAS, This award, co-sponsored by the National Academic Ad-
vising Association and the American College Testing was established in
1983 to honor programs which demonstrate innovative or exemplary prac-
tices resulting in improvement of academic advising services; and
WHEREAS, Washburn University officials recognized a need during
the 1990's to improve student advising services. University resources were
provided to increase staffing levels devoted to advising and to fund tech-
nical support. In 1996 the university's Undeclared Academic Advising
joined with Career Services, Counseling and Testing to form one large
student-centered academic unit, the Center for Learning and Student
Success. This new organization has been very successful in the provision
of advising services to Washburn students; and
WHEREAS, The award was accepted in San Diego at the annual con-
ference of the National Academic Advising Association by Dr. Rich Rob-
bins, Coordinator of Advising, and Sue Lorenz, M.A., advisor, for Wash-
burn University: Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas: That we congrat-
ulate and commend Washburn University upon being awarded the 1998
Outstanding Institutional Advising Program Award; and
Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of the Senate be directed
to provide an enrolled copy of this resolution to Dr. Jerry Farley, Presi-
dent, Washburn University, 1700 College Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66621.

and was adopted by that body
