Joshua Fletcher (Ed.S ‘16, M.Ed. ‘16), a 2016 UF alumnus and academic advisor at George Mason University, has been honored with the Region 2 Excellence in Advising – Primary Role Advisor Certificate of Merit award from NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising.
Fletcher graduated from the University of Florida’s College of Education with a master’s degree in Counseling Education and a Specialist degree in K-12 Counseling in 2016. He has since served as an Undergraduate Academic Advisor at George Mason University for the Computer Science Department.
His time as an EduGator led him to serving as a middle school counselor for three years, where he developed a passion for encouraging higher education for underprivileged youth, inspiring him to transition from working in K-12 to working as an Academic Advisor in a higher education institution.
Although I did not know much about engineering in the beginning,” says Fletcher, “my counseling background from UF’s Counseling Education Master’s program has provided me with the skills to help advise over 2,500 computer science undergraduate students a year from the enrollment stage to the graduation stage
