STARKVILLE, Miss.–Mississippi State computer science and engineering professor Donna S. Reese is receiving a national award for university faculty academic advising.
Reese will formally accept the Outstanding Advising Award of the National Academic Advising Association in October during the organization’s 2004 meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio.
In addition to teaching and research responsibilities, Reese serves as MSU’s undergraduate coordinator for the software engineering and computer science degree programs. A doctoral graduate of Texas A&M University, she joined the MSU faculty in 1988.
NACADA is the professional organization for collegiate advisers, counselors, faculty, administrators, and students.
