Office of the Provost Engaged Scholarship Award
The Office of the Provost Engaged Scholarship Award was established in 2000 by Provost Richard Richardson to recognize extraordinary public service and engaged scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Beginning in 2006, this award recognizes university units for exemplary engaged scholarship (the application of university expertise to address community needs) in service to the state of North Carolina. The service should:
- Serve as an example of excellence, including responsiveness to community concerns and strong community partnerships and,
- Demonstrate integration of the service endeavor into the teaching and/or research missions of the University.
This award is for a specific (rather than overall) effort, and all university units and organizations are eligible. Up to two awards are given during each nomination period. Each winner receives a framed certificate and a monetary award.
The 2008 nomination period is closed.
