At its April 24, 1992 meeting, The Board of Trustees of North Carolina State University established a new award to honor faculty whose careers demonstrated a dedication to excellence. The award, known as the Alexander Quarles Holladay Medal for Excellence was named in honor of Alexander Quarles Holladay, NC State\u2019s first Professor of History and its first President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intended to be the highest faculty award at NC State, the Holladay Medal for Excellence recognizes members of the faculty whose careers have demonstrated outstanding achievement and sustained impact in research, teaching, or extension and engagement. The NC State Board of Trustees reviews nominations that are selected by its University Affairs Committee in consultation with the Holladay Medal for Excellence Nomination Committee and the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost. The Board of Trustees may then select from zero to five recipients in any given year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be considered for the Holladay Medal, the nominee must be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NC State\u2019s Policy 01.30.1 Holladay Medal for Excellence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recipient or recipients will be recognized and presented with an engraved medal and a framed certificate at the Celebration of Faculty Excellence (CFE). The NC State Memorial Belltower is lighted red in recognition of all honorees of the CFE. Recipients will also be recognized at spring Commencement and publicized in NC State media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A nomination may be resubmitted for the next award cycle if the nominee has not been selected as a recipient of this award. Renominations are not automatic. They must be resubmitted with updates that reflect the current year of nomination, confirmation of continued support from the writers of support letters, and any information regarding awards, accolades, projects, publications, or other activities completed after the submission of last year\u2019s nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Each college determines its own deadline for submissions to its college-level review committee to allow time for review and submission to the university-level review committee. Contact your college\u2019s Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for the college review committee schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decisions about recommendations for the Holladay Medal will be considered on the strength of the documentation that illustrates the nominee\u2019s commitment to excellence and outstanding achievement and not on the basis of an individual\u2019s general reputation among the faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Administrative Advisory Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Provost may include other members to ensure a broad representation of the university academic community and may reappoint committee members to assure continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nomination committee will review nominations in consultation with the Provost and Chair of the Faculty and may submit up to ten (10) nominations to the Chancellor for review and submission to the University Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees which reviews the nominations and recommends awards to the Board of Trustees as prescribed in NC State\u2019s Policy 01.30.1 Holladay Medal for Excellence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
