Leasa Rochester-Mills, director of academic transition programs in Academic Success, received the Executive Director’s Advisor Award from Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD), the national honor society for first-year academic success. The Advisor Award recognizes recipients for their exceptional work during the 2020–2021 academic year, as well as their dedication to students and support of ALD’s mission.

An ALD adviser since 2017, Ms. Rochester-Mills assisted the executive board in the 2018 planning of the National Leadership Conference in Buffalo, New York, and is an active member of ALD’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Task Force, discussing best practices, identifying resources, and helping create the national DEIB survey. In March, she was also selected to serve on behalf of ALD on the Association of College Honor Societies’ Annual Conference panel.
