GREENSBORO, NC – Dr. Jerry Pubantz, professor of Political Science, is the new director of the Lloyd International Honors College. He will begin August 1.
Pubantz will take over the position from Dr. Dennis Leyden, who will return to the Bryan School as associate professor of economics.
“I am extremely pleased to have this opportunity to work with UNCG's Honors students and the superb staff and faculty of the College,” said Pubantz. “The Lloyd International Honors College opens the door not only to the best of the liberal arts for our students but also makes available a world of opportunities beyond American borders that can provide our best students with the skills to be future global leaders.”
The Lloyd International Honors College administers UNCG’s Honors Program which includes the General-Education Honors Program, the Disciplinary Honors Program and the Full University Honors Program. In collaboration with UNCG’s Office of International Programs, the Lloyd International Honors College offers honors abroad experiences for Honors students. In addition, the College sponsors annual events such as the Raft Debate which pits representatives from each of three branches of academia: arts and sciences, social sciences and natural sciences, against each other to decide who will have the only seat in a theoretical life raft.
The Lloyd International Honors College is named for Aubrey Paul and Georgia Garrison Lloyd. In 2006, their daughter Rebecca Lloyd, a 1950 graduate of Woman’s College (now UNCG), gave UNCG $4 million, its largest ever alumni gift, to endow the Lloyd International Honors College.
