The John Tate Professional Development Conference and Awards Ceremony encourages fellowship by bringing together faculty, administrators, professional advising staff, career counselors, and other members of the extended University community interested in academic advising.
The Tate Awards are presented annually at the Tate Advising Conference. By celebrating professionals for their outstanding commitment to students, the Tate Awards recognize the critical role that academic advising plays in carrying out the University’s educational mission.
The John Tate Professional Development Conference and Awards Ceremony is sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Academic Advising Network.
