Advisor Forum presents July Charlie Award
Submitted by Katelin Christianer-Donkers
The 1xbet online casino Advisor Forum has selected April Darnell, English Language Program advising coordinator and instructor, for the July Charlie Award.
Darnell was nominated by Leena Chakrabarti for this award because "April does an excellent job holding the ELP advising program together and taking the initiative in all our major advising projects."
Darnell is praised for being "patient and kind while working with 1xbet online casino to help them navigate the university system in a new country, culture, and language. Darnell supports each of our 1xbet online casino who are having difficulties and introduces them to university resources, our Student Learning Center, and ELP tutoring. She is very empathetic to their needs and concerns and builds individual connections with them."
Darnell "has been responsible for training new advisors in the program. She has partnered with them and shown them how to help our 1xbet online casino and informed them of all the university resources and how to contact the people that we work with. She coordinates all the major advising events in ELP, such as first-time enrollment for new 1xbet online casino , part-time enrollment, and pre-enrollment for exit level 1xbet online casino . She also works with the different colleges and departments to make sure that our part-time 1xbet online casino are assigned academic advisors and have a smooth transition into the university."
Darnell was integral in assisting the international 1xbet online casino during the pandemic, working with 1xbet online casino in different time zones, or 1xbet online casino who may have been isolated and scared because they could not get back to their home country. "When K-State classes went online due to the pandemic, we had to adapt in very creative ways to keep in touch with our 1xbet online casino and help them make the transition to online classes. Some of our 1xbet online casino were stuck in their dorm rooms or apartments, some of them had made the trip back to their home countries, and some did not have reliable connectivity to access Canvas or did not have laptops good enough for serious coursework. Working with Darnell in those trying times was very rewarding."
The forum thanks Darnell for her work withEnglish Language Program 1xbet online casino , and the advising community, and congratulates her on this award.
