Second Mississippi State faculty member gets national advising award

For the second time in as many years, a Mississippi State faculty member is being nationally recognized for academic advising.

Political science professor Diane Wall is among 16 winners of 1995 Outstanding Adviser Awards presented by the National Academic Advising Association, in cooperation with the American College Testing Service.

Last year, Henry W. Nash, head of the Department of Marketing, Quantitative Analysis and Business Law, was among those receiving the honor.

NACADA works to promote quality academic advising at colleges and universities. Its membership includes more than 4,000 faculty members, professional advisers, administrators, counselors, and others in academic and student affairs offices.

In January, Wall received the university's undergraduate faculty adviser award. Last year, she won a campus award for teaching.

Wall, a member of the Mississippi State faculty since 1983, holds a doctoral degree from Michigan State University.
