November 25, 2025
Fall 2025 witnessed record-breaking numbers from CBUS Advisors鈥� academic plans
Despite faculty being the ones providing our students the education itself, advisors are the ones who help them get wherever they wish to go. It鈥檚 much more than just advising; it鈥檚 mentoring, guiding, planning, counseling, and basically being a rudder that students turn to for any problem they face during their time at 海角社区.
CBUS is proud to celebrate our advisors鈥� accomplishments this semester, and always, because not only do they represent our college to students, they also are an example of what students should look up to when it comes to hard work and dedication.
This time, we wanted to highlight all our advisors鈥� collective effort in creating academic plans for our students. In addition to providing advising through never-ending appointments, advisors take the liberty of creating academic plans for students as a means of giving them a detailed picture of what their chosen degree would look like, semester by semester.
鈥淎cademic Plans are semester course guides for students.聽 Produced by an academic advisor, the academic plan can include just one semester or be a complete multi-semester graduation plan. Students can easily access their Academic Plan via their Navigate app.聽 Faculty and Staff can also access the plans by going to Navigate, looking up a student鈥檚 record, and then selecting the Academic Plan tab. 聽Under the Planning Tools menu, expand the Sent Advisor Plans option.聽 If there is a plan, it will be visible to you.鈥� 鈥� Wendy Walker, Advising Coordinator, College of Business
For October alone, we had 500+ plans submitted, and 4 CBUS advisors in the top 7 total producers across 海角社区. The following 4 advisors are:
Top Advisor: 1st place: Alice McClendon with 143 sent plans
2nd place: Joseph Cao with 127 sent plans
4th place: Celeste Lopez-Ponce with 109 sent plans
7th place: Donelyn Jones with 93 sent plans
We are incredibly proud and lucky to have such amazing advisors who represent a symbol of exemplary work ethic, care, and dedication. CBUS continues to be in awe of its staff who usually aren鈥檛 at the forefront of students鈥� education, but are its essential backbone, that if lost, students鈥� education would be lost alongside it as well.
Thank you to all our advisors along with the top 4, as well as Wendy Walker, for your continued efforts in making our school and CBUS the best it can be.
