The annual Thomas Jefferson Award recognizes a UNC faculty member who, through personal influence and performance of duty in teaching, writing and scholarship, has best exemplified the ideals and objectives of Thomas Jefferson. UNC faculty members nominate candidates for the honor, which carries a cash prize; a faculty committee chooses the recipient. Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz, PhD, presented the award to Adaora Adimora, MD, PhD, during a virtual meeting of the Faculty Council last week.
“Dr. Adimora is a tireless champion for people afflicted with HIV in North Carolina, the South, across the U.S. and globally,” Guskiewicz said during the presentation.
