Hi all,
I just got an email about Sophia having an "Advisor of the Year" contest and I thought we should nominate Nancy Parks because she has been so monumentally helpful to so many of us. She takes on a lot of questions and I'm sure a barrage of emails (I know I sure sent her a lot!) and still keeps up.
Just wanted to pass this by the forum in case anyone got the email or wanted to nominate her (or someone else -- you can nominate up to 5 advisors.)

" Each of five winning advisors will receive a $500 prize. Plus, you could win a free month of Sophia."

Interesting... Here's the first 3 for TESU: I usually go with the following and in this order: Patricia Certo, Don Stoltz, are my main "go to" and Chrystal Guadarrama is my "backup" when they're not available.
Then your next two, also mentioned earlier: Jessica Winslow from UMPI and Nancy Parks from Pierpont. There's the favorite five on my quick list! Should I sign them up and get a chance to win a prize?

Please absolutely do this.
Nancy Parks and Jessica Winslow are definately the best 2 advisors DegreeForum chats about. There's a ton of "thirds" too.

Guys, it's not a vote. The advisor only gets one entry no matter how many people nominate them.
https://www.sophia.org/lp/advisor-of-the...ial-rules/
Quote:Limit: Five Entries per Entrant and One Entry per Advisor during the Promotion Period. If more than one Entrant enters an Advisor, the Advisor will receive only one Entry.

That's alright, at least we know they've been added... and in the running for the award, I wonder how they would decide who will win...
