HOPKINS BUILDS A NEW FUTURE BY EXAMPLE

Troy Hopkins, academic adviser 2, has led students and co-workers by example since he began working in the Bauer College of Business in the department of accountancy and taxation a year and a half ago.

He started the process of designing, creating and building a new Accounting Programs Student Database, and since has taken the lead on projects to make the program more efficient.

“Troy can both recite policy and has the aptitude and intelligence to think through the process and see issues that have not been addressed,” a colleague wrote in a letter of recommendation.

“Unlike other advisers I have had, he is willing to go above and beyond what he is required to do,” one student wrote.

The George Magner Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising carries a $1,000 check and a framed certificate.
