About the Award
 |
C. Felix Harvey |
The C. Felix Harvey Award to Advance Institutional Priorities recognizes exemplary faculty scholarship that reflects one of the University’s top priorities. The annual Harvey Award, endowed by a $2 million commitment from the Harvey family of Kinston, N.C., provides $75,000 to fund the winning project. The first competition was held in 2008.
The award's namesake, C. Felix Harvey, is chairman of Harvey Enterprises & Affiliates and founder of the Little Bank Inc., both in Kinston. He graduated from UNC with a degree in commerce in 1943 and went to the Navy midshipman school, then served on a PT boat in the southwest Pacific theater during World War II. Now as chairman of Harvey Enterprises & Affiliates, he heads privately-held, family-owned interests ranging from farming and agricultural production supplies to real estate, financial institutions and insurance.
2009 Competition Request for Proposals
For the 2009 competition (with a 2010-2011 project period), the $75,000 award will focus on engagement and outreach. The Harvey Award will be given to the faculty member or members whose project proposal best reflects “Applied Innovation of Scholarly Expertise in the Humanities and Social Sciences” through the creative and substantive application of faculty scholarship to serve constituencies outside the University. Deadline: Sept. 25, 2009.
