The Robert E. Bryan Public Service Award recognizes individuals (students, faculty or staff) who, as representatives of UNC-Chapel Hill, have demonstrated outstanding engagement and service to the state of North Carolina. This award is for a particular effort or one-time event (rather than an overall record of service) carried out through the individual’s role(s) in the University rather than that as a private citizen. Students, faculty and staff are eligible. Up to three awards are given annually. Each winner receives a framed certificate and a monetary award. Learn more and access the Bryan nomination forms.
