Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching
As part of its ongoing efforts to underscore the importance of teaching and to encourage, identify, recognize, reward, and support good teaching within the university, the Board of Governors in 1993 created the annual system-wide teaching awards which are designated Board of Governors Awards for Excellence in Teaching. Seventeen awards are given annually, with one recipient selected from each of the constituent institutions. The first awards were given in the 1994-95 academic year.
Board of Trustees Teaching Excellence Award
The Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, in recognition of this institution’s commitment to teaching excellence, has established the Board of Trustees Teaching Excellence Award. Recipients of the award manifest excellence as a way of life and stand out among the faculty as persons who have made and continue to make a significant contribution to higher education through their dedication and service to students. The award carries with it both an honor and a responsibility: it identifies a member of the faculty as a person of excellence, and it calls upon the person so honored to share that excellence with colleagues and students.
Chancellor’s Teaching Excellence Award
The Chancellor’s Teaching Excellence Award recognizes all aspects of excellence in teaching and in teaching-related activities that foster students’ desire for lifetime learning and success. There shall be five Chancellor’s Teaching Excellence Awards consisting of one for the Cameron School of Business, one for the College of Health and Human Services, one for the College of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts, one for the College of Science and Engineering, and one for the Watson College of Education.
Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award
The Distinguished Faculty Scholar Award is designed to underscore this institution’s continuing commitment to scholarship and creative work.

Up to two awards are given annually.
Distinguished Scholarly Engagement and Public Service Award
The Distinguished Scholarly Engagement and Public Service Award recognizes excellence in addressing crucial local, regional, national, or global issues through scholarly activity directed towards persons and groups outside UNCW. The university confers one rising and one senior award each year. The recipient of the senior award is the UNCW nominee for the Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Public Service.
Distinguished Teaching Professorship Award
The Distinguished Teaching Professorship Awards exemplify UNCW’s commitment to excellence in teaching and in teaching-related activities by recognizing faculty members who have made a profound contribution to higher education through their dedication and service to students. Up to three awards are given each year.
Excellence in eLearning Award
The annual Excellence in eLearning Award recognizes faculty members for outstanding online and/or web-enhanced course design and delivery. Interested faculty apply for the award, and the recipient is chosen by a group of faculty course reviewers and the Office of Distance Education and eLearning.
Graduate Mentor Award
The Graduate Mentor Award recognizes members of UNCW’s graduate faculty who have excelled at teaching at the graduate level and who have an established record of mentoring graduate students. The latter includes not only guiding the research activity of students during their tenure at UNCW but also helping students become established as independent scholars and professionals.
