Congratulations goes to Dr. Jose Villalba, for winning the 2007 UNCG Teaching Excellence Award for Untentured Faculty, something that is bestowed upon only one UNCG faculty member each year. Prior to that, Dr. Villalba had received the 2005-2006 School of Education Teaching Excellence Award at that institution. Incidentally, if you glance at the UNCG faculty, you will see a lot of Gators! (January 2008)
