Distinguished Advising Award
Dr. Lloyd D. Brooks
Dr. Brooks has been a member of the faculty at the University of Memphis since 1971.
Since he arrived at our University nearly 23 years ago, he has served as an advisor
and worked with well over a thousand students at all levels. From 1993 he served 1999
as career advisor for all of the undergraduate students in that major, and he still
serves as the chair of the college undergraduate curriculum committee. He also serves
as advisor to the over 100 M.S. and MBA students and to doctoral students with concentrations
in his department. His advising work with them often begins even before they arrive
on campus and he is often the first person those students see before they begin their
studies here.
Professor Brooks has taken a leading role in using new technologies to enhance the
ability of students to receive advising information. Nevertheless, he has never forgotten
that although technologies can greatly enhance the advising process, they cannot replace
the personal contact with the students he advises. One of Professor Brooks most important
contributions has taken him outside his work in the department. He has been a leader
in advising and licensing students seeking high school licensure in areas related
to business technology, working closely with the College of Education, Health and
Human Sciences at our university and with the Tennessee Department of Education. This
award recognizes his work with students at all levels, his commitment to serving students
and his profession, and for the leadership role he has taken in the successful partnerships
between teacher education and business education. He has made significant contributions
to the professionalization and improvement of business education in schools across
West Tennessee.
Congratulations, DR. BROOKS.
