The Charles "Butch" and Joan Nunnally award was established in 2010 through an endowment created by Noel and Kirk Schulz to honor longtime Virginia Tech Electrical and Computer Engineering professor Butch Nunnally and his lasting impact on engineering education.

Noel Schulz established the award in recognition of her father’s influence and inspiration in her own path toward becoming an engineer and educator. The award is presented annually and recognizes outstanding faculty within the Department of Engineering Education.

The department remains deeply grateful to the Schulz and Nunnally families for their continued support and commitment to excellence in engineering education.
