Brian Gillette Named 2012 Academic Advisor of the Year

By Erin Cushing

Brian Gillette, student academic affairs coordinator for the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS), has been chosen as Mason’s 2012 Advisor of the Year.

“I am proud and honored to have been chosen,” Gillette says. “I love advising because I get to know the students, and our students are smart, creative, kind and interesting.

“There are so many people who help me do my work, and they don’t always get the credit they deserve,” he continues. “Many times I get the credit for the work they do.  Since receiving this award, I’ve thought even more about Mason advisors who don’t always get the credit they deserve.”
