Cobb Receives Outstanding New Advisor Award for State

A Fairmont State University staff member recently received the 2016 Outstanding New Advisor Award for the state of West Virginia.

The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) Region III presented the honor to Dedra Cobb of Preston County, an academic advisor for the FSU College of Liberal Arts, at the Mid-South Regional Conference in April in Chattanooga, Tenn.

“It’s wonderful to be honored for doing a job that you love. I love working with our students,” Cobb said. “I just watched some of my advisees graduate at FSU on Saturday and that’s really a great feeling. Education is a journey, and I am glad to be part of our students’ journey.”

NACADA is an association of professional advisors, counselors, faculty, administrators and students working to enhance the educational development of students. For more information, visit www.nacada.ksu.edu.
