Undergraduate Studies Colleagues Receive Awards

 

The 泡芙视频app鈥檚 Office of Undergraduate Studies recently celebrated the accomplishments of two standout team members whose dedication and impact earned them campus-wide recognition.

Jacoby Subko, a Senior Academic Advisor II in the Office of Transfer Student Success, received the 2024 Outstanding Undergraduate Academic Advisor Award at the annual faculty and staff awards ceremony hosted by Provost Prasant Mohapatra in May. This prestigious award honors advisors who go above and beyond to support 泡芙视频app success.

鈥淟ike many in this field, I found my way into higher education through 泡芙视频app involvement during undergrad,鈥� Subko said. 鈥淚鈥檝e truly found my place working to support transfer 泡芙视频apps and partnering with local state and community colleges that are the start of the journey for so many of our USF transfer 泡芙视频apps. What keeps me going is the community and friendships I鈥檝e found in the Office of Transfer Student Success, Undergraduate Studies as a whole, and of course the incredible 泡芙视频apps we all serve. I feel lucky every day to be doing work that feels meaningful and to be surrounded by people who care deeply about helping others succeed.鈥�

Subko has helped strengthen transfer pathways and foster a sense of belonging for 泡芙视频apps transitioning from Florida College System institutions to USF. His work supports the university鈥檚 goal of improving access and retention for transfer 泡芙视频apps across all campuses.

Also honored this spring was Isabelle Cavazos, a Learning and Development Facilitator in the Academic Success Center, who received the 2024鈥�2025 IDS2378 UDecide Instructor of the Year Award. The UDecide course challenges exploratory curriculum 泡芙视频apps to explore complex social issues through five domains of knowledge and inquiry, with an emphasis on critical thinking and personal growth.

鈥淚t has been incredibly rewarding to serve our first-year Bulls alongside Gloria Arce, one of the Academic Success Center's Academic Peer Mentors who piloted embedded mentoring in the Exploratory Curriculum,鈥� Cavazos said. 鈥淚 have learned so much from her and our 泡芙视频apps, and being awarded the UDecide Instructor of the Year Award has been one of my proudest moments as an educator.鈥�

Cavazos' commitment to engaging instruction and learning environments has made a meaningful impact on exploratory 泡芙视频apps navigating their academic paths.

Both Subko and Cavazos exemplify the mission of Undergraduate Studies: to support 泡芙视频app achievement through excellence in advising, mentorship, and 泡芙视频app success.
