Nominations for the 2026 Gladys Strawn Bullard have begun.
The Gladys Strawn Bullard Awards were established in 1981 through an endowed gift from Bern F. Bullard and his family in honor of Gladys Strawn Bullard, an alumna of UNCG. Mrs. Bullard was a past president of the UNCG Alumni Association and a former member and vice chairman of the UNCG Board of Trustees.
Mrs. Bullard was a longtime civic leader in Raleigh, where she formerly was the first president of the Democratic Women of Wake County and a past president of the Raleigh Woman’s Club. Through the years, she also served on numerous boards of nonprofit organizations. She passed away in December 2014.
The Gladys Strawn Bullard Award was established to recognize and reward members of the student body, faculty, and staff of UNCG who provide outstanding leadership and service to the University. Members of the faculty and staff are eligible after two years of full‐time service to the University. Students must have completed three semesters of full-time course work.
- Remember to consider the people who may quietly guide as well as those who are more visible.
- Three $1,000 awards will be given to a member of each group
- A committee, representatives of the diverse constituencies of the campus and appointed by the Chancellor, will select the recipients.
- All entries must be submitted electronically, via this form, no later than Saturday February 28, 2026.
Please note that nominees for the Staff Excellence Award may also be considered for the Gladys Strawn Bullard Award.
The nomination and selection process will be coordinated by the Human Resources Department. For all questions or concerns, please contact Donna Kannenberg at dlstull@uncg.edu.
