Kovacs Award for Outstanding Alumni Achievement
The Kovacs Award for Outstanding Alumni Achievement is presented annually by the UNCG-LIS Alumni Association to a graduate of the UNCG Department of Library and Information Studies who has made significant contributions to libraries, library users, and Information Studies. The award honors former faculty member Dr. Bea Kovacs and recognizes individuals whose service to community and career achievements reflect those exemplified by Dr. Kovacs. Among these achievements are:
- Exceptional service to the users of libraries and school media centers
- Innovative and creative leadership that benefits colleagues, institutions, and professional organizations
