FACULTY & STAFF AWARDS
Vick Advising Awards
The Texas Exes James W. Vick Award for Academic Advising was created in 1992 and recognizes individuals who improve students’ overall experience at The University of Texas at Austin through outstanding advising.
Every year, new recipients are honored at an awards celebration and awarded $500 each. Students nominate academic advisors from across campus, and a student selection committee determines the recipients.
For questions, please email Alex Kunze.
