Cofer Named Outstanding New Advisor at NAAA National Meeting

TIFTON—Rebecca Cofer, Student Development Specialist at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, is one of five persons to be awarded national Outstanding New Advisor honors at the National Academic Advising Association (NAAA) meeting in San Antonio, TX.

“I applied through the national organization by submitting a portfolio and was then notified by e-mail and letter,” Cofer said.

Cofer has been a part of the NAAA for three years doing everything from helping with publications to doing presentations for the organization. She led two presentations at this year’s meeting.

“The first presentation I conducted was on tips for new advisors and the second was on advising special populations, such as non-traditional students,” Cofer said.

Cofer said she loves being a part of this organization, and it helps her to do a better job of serving the students at ABAC.
