Janet Koposko selected for top advising award at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

May 31—TIFTON — Janet Koposko, associate professor from the Department of Rural Studies in the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College School of Arts and Sciences, has been selected as the 2023 recipient of the W. Bruce and Rosalyn Ray Donaldson Excellence in Advising Award.

"Advising is something that is not always tangible, and it's hard to document and show evidence that you're doing it well," Koposko said. "Getting this award is important to me because it's a recognition that the hard work is paying off. I could not do it without the team in Academic Support and my colleagues who are always around to have conversations about advising and help support each other."
