Celebrating Teaching Excellence and Innovation

Teaching Excellence Awards

The Board of Governors Excellence in Teaching and Alumni Teaching Excellence Awards are given to four faculty members each year in recognition of their outstanding teaching efforts. Three awards are presented by UNCG, and a fourth is presented by the UNC system.

Minerva Mentions

Minerva Mentions is an instructor spotlight series from the UTLC to recognize excellence and innovation in teaching at UNCG. Instructors can nominate themselves or a colleague to be featured in the UTLC weekly newsletter by sharing their “Words of Wisdom” on teaching.
