Cigler wins as outstanding academic adviser
Political science prof chosen for KU's first advising award
By Sarah Davis
Kansan staff writer
Allan Gigler does not think he is doing anything special.
"I'm no super adviser," said Cigler, professor of political science. "I just doing my job."
But some think he is doing more than his share. Cigler received the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences award in academic adviser award Friday
Cigler said he was flattered to be chosen.
"It reflects that there were some students I've dealt with down the line who took the time to reflect on the contribution I made to their career here," he said. "When somebody takes the time out to recognize you, you feel pretty good."
Cigler was selected from six other nominees by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Alumni Club advisory board. Board members judged candidates on recommendations made by students. They also used a
list of criteria, which included making an effort to be available to students and giving quality time to help students make good decisions about their educations and career goals.
The award was created this semester so advisors could be recognized and rewarded.
Edwyna Gilbert, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said, "There are faculty awards, and there are teaching awards for the University, but we really didn't have any adviser awards."
Cigler said the award he received was significant because it showed his commitment.
"The importance of the award is that it symbolizes that there are some people who feel that the advising process is important," he said.
He also said that many faculty members within the college took advising as seriously as he did. The six other nonimmunes were: J. Theodore Johnson, professor of French
and Italian; Lloyd Sponholz, associate professor of history; Jack Weller, assistant professor of sociology; Charles Wyttenbach, professor of physiology and cell biology; Mohamed El Hodihr, professor of economics; and Michael Gaines, professor of systematics and ecology.
Gilbert said the board members had a difficult time deciding who the winner of the bronze Jayhawk trophy would be.
"All of these guys got wonderful recommendations from students, and they all had a reputation for being great teachers who care about student groups," she said.
But Gilbert said the comments from the student who nominated Cigler gave him the edge. She said the student mentioned that she was a transfer student coming in with bad expectations of the college advising system but was pleased when Cigler helped change her opinion.
"He has a wonderful reputation
has for his years, Gilbert said.
Shumway's is one of the best."
That is why Kellie Hogan, Wichita
tumor, nominated him.

didn't have someone to give you good advice and support," she said. "He really cares about students, and he's really willing to help."
Cigler said he was even more willing when a student came prepared and was knowledgeable about the advising process.
"For advising to work, it has to be viewed as a two-way process," he said. "Advising is best when you're solving problems and providing options. I feel very good when I feel that I made a difference in someone's life."
Allan Cigler, professor of political science, is the winner of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences outstanding adviser award.
