Rosa Glombicki, assistant director of regional recruitment in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, was named a recipient of the inaugural Courtney E. Wallace Distinguished Service Award by the Illinois Association for College Admission Counseling.
The award recognizes IACAC members with a least 15 years of service who “serve and advocate for students and families with passion and integrity,” along with other criteria. Glombicki, a Marquette counselor based in the Chicago area, was one of four individuals to receive the honor.
Courtney Wallace, for whom the award is named, was a dedicated college admission professional known for championing access to higher education, advocating for women in admissions, encouraging younger admission professionals and uplifting voices. She died unexpectedly in June 2024.
“Courtney meant so much to the world of admissions and impacted countless students and other professionals,” Glombicki said. “She is someone who mentored me throughout my career, and I am incredibly proud to call her my friend. This honor means a lot to me, and I am humbled to carry on her legacy in this way.”
