The UNC Board of Governors Excellence in Teaching Award was established in 1994 to underscore the importance of teaching and to encourage, identify, recognize, reward and support good teaching within the UNC System. Every year, one faculty member from each of the System's 17 constituent institutions is selected for the award, which comes with a $12,500 cash prize. To be eligible for the award, nominees must have taught at their System institution for a minimum of seven years, demonstrated excellence in, and commitment to, teaching, and actively teach in the academic year in which they are selected.
Nomination information for all UNC Board of Governors Teaching Awards can be found on the Academic Affairs website.
