Knutson has been selected an Outstanding Advising Award Winner in the Academic Advising Administrator category from the National Academic Advising Association as part of the 2011 Annual Awards Program for Academic Advising. The event honors people, programs, institutions and technology innovations making significant contributions to the field of academic advising.
Knutson joined WMU in 1994 as a residence hall director.

He earned bachelor's degrees in sociology and secondary education, both from Moorhead State University, and a master's degree in political science from WMU.
He will be honored and presented with the award in Denver during the NACADA Annual Conference in October.
