Michelle Yager, Director of University Advising and Academic Services Center for Western Illinois University, has been named 2019 ILACADA Advising Administrator of the Year.

 Michelle was nominated for her leadership in creating and leading a committee on WIU’s campus titled the “Advising Leadership Team.” This committee was created to help in the professional development of all academic advisors at Western.

 Without Michelle being the visionary in bringing this programming idea to our campus, and assembling a team to do it justice, WIU would not have been able to improve the services our advisors provide to all WIU students now and in the future.

As the winner, Michelle will receive a $250 stipend to use for the next ILACADA State Conference.
