LAS VEGAS - UNLV Athletic Academic Advisor Lisa Levine will receive the Professional Promise Award given out by the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics.

The honor is handed out on a yearly basis to one member from each region. The N4A Professional Promise Award honors professionals who serve student-athletes and who have dedicated their energy to the association and its mission.

Winners must have been N4A members for more than a year but fewer than five years.

Each year, regional directors solicit nominations from their respective regions and honorees are selected by regional e-vote.

The five winners are recognized at the awards luncheon at the annual national convention. This year's convention will be held in Miami in June.

Levine is the academic advisor at UNLV for women's basketball, women's golf and assists with football.
