Rachel Maceri, assistant professor of exercise science, has been named Nebraska Wesleyan University's Advisor of the Year for 2023-24. 

One student nominator says Maceri helped her pass a chemistry course that was required for her degree after she considered dropping the class after the first exam. 

Associate Professor of Health and Human Performance Samantha Wilson was named the 2022-23 Faculty Advisor of the Year. 

The award was established by the Academic Affairs Committee of the Student Affairs Senate to recognize and reward faculty for the pursuit of excellence in advising.
