Pete Andrews Leadership Award Recipients

(Established 2009)

The award recognizes a living retired faculty or senior professional staff member (i.e., EHRA rank) of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for their distinguished service to the university. It was initially established to recognize leadership contributions to the organization but was expanded in 2013 to recognize distinguished leadership more broadly. It was renamed in 2024 to honor former RFPA President Pete Andrews.

The award is open to any living faculty member or senior professional staff member retired from UNC-Chapel Hill whose leadership has been extraordinary.

The Pete Andrews Leadership Award is generally given in the spring of odd-numbered years with nominations submitted the prior fall. Nominations must be submitted by a current member of the RFPA with two supporting letters. Past recipients include:
