    • The College of Business is excited to announce our two new Academic Advisors to join the Office for Professional Distinction, who include:
      • Tyler Hospodarsky (start date April 10th)
      • Jen Rust (start date April 17th)
    • This means we now have a total of four, full-time dedicated academic advisors in OPD to serve business student needs, including our two incumbents, James Prier and Taija Tucker. Feel free to send students with questions their way. Although we continue to split students by alphabet so students have a point of contact in the system, anyone in the office can serve any student in need.
    • Please help me in welcoming them to the advising family at UNI!
