Alumni Association Recognizes Distinguished Faculty

Faculty who excel in the classroom, laboratory and in the field do not go unnoticed by the Alumni Association. Since 1968, we’ve recognized top faculty with stipends that today range from $1,000 to $4,000. During a virtual ceremony Tuesday evening, we awarded 25 faculty members a total of $70,000. Nominations were made by deans, department heads, peers and students.

The sale of specialized NC State license plates helps pay for the awards. When you buy a plate, you get to display the “Block S,” and a portion of the sale price is returned to the Alumni Association to reward faculty. The plates are available in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia by visiting each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. In Maryland, drivers must first obtain a license plate request form from the Alumni Association.
