NC State University recently announced its 2019 Awards for Excellence winners.

Rogers had been nominated by the university’s Office of Research and Innovation.<\/p>\n

Rogers and the other winners<\/a> are now eligible to be considered for this year\u2019s Governor\u2019s Award for Excellence<\/a>. Last year, three NC State University employees took home a Governor\u2019s Award for Excellence.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cAt NC State, we\u2019re proud to be able to attract and retain such outstanding talent,\u201d Chancellor Randy Woodson said. \u201cAnd I think the governor\u2019s consistent recognition of our employees is further testament to the quality of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each year since 1996, the university has presented these awards to recognize employees who \u201cgo above and beyond the call of duty\u201d in one or more of the following categories: Customer Service, Efficiency and Innovation, Heroism, Human Relations, Outstanding State Government Service, Public Service, and the Spirit of North Carolina.<\/i><\/p>\n

Rogers, a 40-year Sea Grant employee, was nominated in the category of Outstanding State Government Service. He previously has won awards from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the national Sea Grant Network, among others.<\/p>\n

North Carolina Sea Grant has headquarters on NC State University’s Centennial Campus and three coastal offices. Rogers is based at the Wilmington office.<\/p>\n

According to Sea Grant Extension Director Frank Lopez, it\u2019s not hyperbole to say Rogers\u2019 research and outreach related to rip currents and coastal construction has saved lives. Additionally, through his work with the North Carolina Building Code Council, it\u2019s estimated Rogers has helped homeowners save over $1 million annually in reduced insurance premiums.<\/p>\n
