On Sunday, May 9 at the 162nd Chowan University Commencement Ceremony, Dr. Hunter S. Taylor was honored as the recipient of the Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award for 2020-21. Dr. Taylor joined the University in 2015 and is the Dean of the School of Business and Design.

Selection for this award is based on such factors as dedication to the profession and to students; effectiveness as a teacher, continued professional growth, availability to students, participation in the University’s program of extracurricular activities; and relationship with colleagues and students. Before presenting the award, Provost, Dr. Danny Moore shared that, “Dr. Taylor exemplifies those qualities and characteristics.”  

The Excellence in Teaching Award is an especially noteworthy honor as it is bestowed on a faculty member chosen by his or her university colleagues. This year’s finalists were Robbin Buller, Assistant Professor of Art; Edward Snyder, Associate Professor of History; Hunter Taylor, Assistant Professor of Business; Catherine Vickers, Instructor in English; and Pamela Woodard, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice.
