Linda Miller-Cleary, Professor in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD), has been selected as an Outstanding Advising Certificate of Merit recipient in the Faculty Academic Advising category as part of the 2004 National Academic Advising Association's National Awards Program.

This award is presented to individuals who have demonstrated qualities associated with outstanding academic advising of students or outstanding academic advising administration. The Faculty Academic Advising category includes those individuals whose primary responsibility is teaching and who spend a portion of their time providing academic advising services to students.

Each year, since 1983, the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA), in cooperation with ACT, Inc., has honored individuals and institutions making significant contributions to the improvement of academic advising. The goal of NACADA is to promote quality academic advising and professional development of its membership to enhance the educational development of students.
