Outstanding Faculty Advisor 2003-2004: William Preston
The Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award was developed to recognize outstanding achievement by a faculty member in the area of student advising. Nominations were solicited from faculty, staff, and students across campus.
William Preston currently teaches Social Sciences for the College of Liberal Arts. Below are just a few of the positive comments from co-workers and students:
"Dr. Preston’s success as an advisor is a direct measure of his dedication to students and his willingness to understand issues from the perspective of the person sitting opposite from him.”
“I especially appreciate Dr. Preston’s accessibility and attention to detail. He makes it his standard practice to give out only accurate advising information. He takes the time to pick up the phone and research complicated curriculum issues, thereby providing the student with the most current and correct information possible.”
“Dr. Preston is not only the best teacher I have had at Cal Poly…..but also an insightful and inspiring senior project advisor. He guides and advises yet doesn’t dictate. He inspires me to follow his lead to not only achieve academic excellence, but also to be a better person all around.”
