The Office of the Provost is pleased to call for nomination letters from Guilford College faculty, staff, and students for the 2022 Bruce B. Stewart Teaching Awards and Bruce B. Stewart Community Service Award.
Bruce Stewart ’61 served Guilford College as director of admission, assistant professor of Education, assistant to the president, acting academic dean, provost, acting president, associate to the vice president for development, trustee, chair of the Board of Trustees, and currently trustee emeritus. The Soles Family – Bill Soles ’81 and Jan Soles Nelson ’87 – generously established and endowed these awards. For 2022, the College will award three Bruce B. Stewart Awards: two Teaching Awards for faculty (one for a tenured faculty member, one for an untenured full-time faculty member, whether on tenure track or not) and one Community Service Award for one staff member; either administrative (non-hourly) or support (hourly).
