North Carolina State University. O. Max Gardner Award.

Hide Profile

The O. Max Gardner Award was established in 1949 to recognize the faculty member from among all University of North Carolina (UNC) system schools who has "...made the greatest contribution to the human race." Nominations for faculty representatives are collected at each university during the fall of the academic year, and one to three candidates are selected from among those nominees to represent each university. From this pool, one or two faculty members are chosen in the spring of the academic year by the UNC Board of Governors' Committee as the recipient(s) of the O. Max Gardner Award for that academic year. At North Carolina State University, the O. Max Gardner Award nominees are selected by a committee reporting to the Provost's Office.
