Bob Rogers Service and Community Engagement Award

The Bob Rogers Service and Community Engagement Award honors the late Bob Rogers, who bridged the UNT and North Texas communities through engagement, volunteerism, and his gift of musical talent and piano performance. The award recognizes a faculty member or staff member whose talent, dedication, passion, and community service strengthen both UNT and the greater community and help maintain strong bonds between them. A defining characteristic of the recipient is a genuine attitude of selfless service, kindness, and joy, qualities Bob embodied throughout his life. Faculty and staff recipients receive a $2,000 taxable cash award and engraved recognition.
