Lauren Stevens has been helping students solve problems and process beneficial information for nearly a decade as a Western Nevada College counselor.
“I’ve genuinely thought over the years that I am an observer just watching students figure it out for themselves,” Stevens said. “I mean, I know there is a greater intricacy than that, but it’s more like the student is rewarded when they synthesize whatever information they need to move forward.”
The WNC counselor was recently recognized as the Nevada Regents’ Academic Advisor Award winner for 2021. Stevens has been inspired by students and colleagues since setting foot on the Carson City campus in 2012.
