University Faculty Scholars

Established by the chancellor in 2012, the University Faculty Scholars program recognizes and rewards emerging academic leaders at NC State. Faculty members selected as University Faculty Scholars carry the title for their faculty appointment at NC State and receive an increase to their base salary.

A committee of senior faculty reviews nominations submitted by the colleges. Assistant professors appointed for a second term, all associate professors and professors within the first three years of appointment at that rank may receive nominations. The committee evaluates nominees on their research and scholarship productivity, excellence in teaching and mentoring, and leadership in extension, professional societies, and public service initiatives.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is proud to have multiple faculty with this distinction.
