Dr. Mari Buche Receives Advisor Award

Associate Professor of Management Information Systems was presented with the Student Organization Advisor of the Year award.

The 18th Annual Student Leadership Awards ceremony was held Friday, April 13, in the Memorial Union Ballroom. Thirteen awards were presented with nearly 175 students, faculty, staff and campus leaders attending the event.

Associate Professor of Management Information Systems Mari Buche received the Student Organization Advisor of the Year.

Jess Banda, Director of Public Relations for the  Rotaract on campus said, “More than an adviser, Mari is a motivator, constantly encouraging the organization to pursue national and international projects, to collaborate with the local community, and to stretch ourselves and reap the benefits of accomplishment.

Never more than a quick call or e-mail away, Mari makes herself consistently available to support Rotaract activities. Mari is a truly excellent advisor. She’s given much of herself, and she deserves to be recognized for her commitment to students.”

Congratulations Dr. Buche!
