In 1995, UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin and SILS Dean Barbara Moran established the SILS Award for Teaching Excellence. In February 2012, the award was renamed the Deborah Barreau Award for Teaching Excellence in memory of Dr. Deborah Barreau, who received the award twice for her masterful teaching and mentoring. The award recognizes one faculty member, who is nominated by the students within the school, for outstanding teaching. In 2006, an additional award recognizing the outstanding teaching by an adjunct professor was added. Both awards are presented at the annual spring commencement ceremony.
