[Transcript of Citation]

Professor Wayne Snyder's advisees praise his enthusiasm, availability, and honesty as an academic advisor. Students especially extol his wide-ranging counsel, which helps them to plan not only their curricula, but also their professional lives after graduation. One student noted that Professor Snyder began acting as her advisor even before she had enrolled at B.U., willingly exchanging emails about her "first semester courses and choice of major." Professor Snyder sets aside ample time to meet with each advisee, often in multiple sessions per semester, attempting to gauge the ambitions and strengths of the student as well as potential obstacles in the student's path.

The College is therefore very please to present to Professor Wayne Snyder a 2002 College Award for Excellence in Student Advising.
