Congratulations to Laura Jule on being selected as one of the Administrative Faculty of the Month Award recipients for July 2026. Jule serves as the assistant director for transfer affairs within the Office of Admissions at UNLV. The nominators wrote:
“The nominee has completed three transfer agreements in the last year with Hawaii, Texas, Washington states. This is an arduous process that is very involved and takes a lot of work and numerous layers of approval. It allows transfer students to have gen ed waived and enhances recruitment of transfers. She also oversees the Faculty Appeals Committee for students needing alternative admissions. In this role, she works with the faculty committee and has helped hundreds of students with difficult situations gain admission to UNLV. Many of these students are veterans of the armed forces, first generation or come form underserved populations. Her efforts and advocacy have helped the university grow. The nominee oversees the transfer team of 3 Transfer Counselors. She also is very hands on and does work herself. The nominee and her team manage over 4000 applicants per semester. She is very hardworking, leads by example and has an open door policy. With a tenure of 20 years all in admissions, the nominee is a "go to" person in the office for students and staff.”
The Administrative Faculty of the Month awards recognize outstanding colleagues who go above and beyond in their duties in advancing UNLV’s mission. The winning recipients receive a certificate and $150 in recognition of their contributions. Nominations for the August 2026 awards are due by Aug. 31, 2026.
