Faculty Advisor of the Year Award

Purpose: AITP is fortunate to have talented educators serve as advisors to AITP's student chapters   all over the country. They willingly donate many hours to assure that their students receive a broader education than they receive in the classroom alone. AITP annually recognizes an advisor who has exemplified the highest ideals of his/her profession.

Criteria:

• AITP student chapter must have earned SCOPA for the previous two years
• The faculty advisor must have served a minimum of two years
• The faculty advisor must have demonstrated a desire to enhance the professional development of the students in his/her charge. Examples of this would be to regularly take students to IT professional functions, meetings & conferences, encourage students to compete in local, regional and national contest events.

Schedule:

• The student chapter president prepares a letter of recommendation and forwards it with all supporting materials to the president of their sponsoring AITP professional chapter.
• Student Faculty Advisor nomination form
• The sponsoring parent chapter verifies that SCOPA was achieved and also writes a letter of recommendation. The parent chapter then emails the entire package to studentawards@aitp.org  by February 24^th.
• The AITP Student Awards Committee will review all submitted materials and make their selection.
• The award will be presented at the upcoming AITP National Collegiate Conference.

Faculty Advisor Inquiries and/or completed packets should be directed to the AITP Student Awards Committee Chair by emailing studentawards@aitp.org.
