Communication Studies own, David Landrum has won the 2014 North Carolina Governor's Award for Excellence in Public Service. This is the highest honor a State employee may receive. David will be honored during the Excellence in State Government Week this year. This is a significant honor for David, the Communication Studies department, CLAS and UNC Charlotte. The Governor's Awards for Excellence Program is designed to acknowledge and express appreciation for outstanding accomplishments that do not fall entirely within the scope of normal duties, but are in the nature of a major contribution reflecting credit on the person and State service. The meritorious service or accomplishment is so singularly outstanding that special recognition is justified.
