Each year, the UNC Greensboro School of Education (SOE) honors a group of alumni, recognizing them for their achievements and contributions to the world of education, leadership, research methodology, library science, and counseling. We hope that the remarkable successes of these alumni will inspire our new graduates, and represent the enormous value of a degree from the School of Education.

Nominations for the 2020-2021 SOE Alumni Awards are now open through March 12, 2021! The SOE encourages you to submit nominations for deserving alumni for the Early Career, Distinguished Career, Outstanding Achievement, and Distinguished Service awards. Learn more about each category here.

Alumni Awards nominations can be made by our alumni, community members, faculty, students, and anyone who knows an alumna or alumnus who is deserving of one of our four awards. We also encourage self nominations!
