The University of North Carolina (UNC) Charlotte 49er Alumni Campus Employees (ACE) Network bestowed its 2025 ACE Milestone Award to an outstanding alumni employee, Sejal Foxx ’08 Ph.D. Foxx was recognized at an appreciation luncheon Monday, Oct. 13, in the Popp Martin Student Union as part of Niner Nation Week celebrations.
Foxx serves as professor and chair of the Department of Counseling in the Cato College of Education and is the visionary founder and director of the University’s Urban School Counseling Collaborative — a thriving hub for doctoral students and school counselor educators.
A nationally recognized scholar, educator and mentor, Foxx has worked across disciplines to secure more than $4.2 million in additional funding from the U.S. Department of Education and the National Science Foundation. She has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and books and currently serves as chair of the International Registry of Counsellor Education Programs. In 2015, she was named Counselor Educator of the Year by the North Carolina School Counselors Association. Earlier this year, she received the 2025 Harshini V. de Silva Graduate Mentor Award.
The ACE Milestone Award is an accolade reserved for alumni campus employees who have dedicated 10 or more years of service to UNC Charlotte and have truly made being a 49er not just a role, but a way of life.
“We are fortunate to have more than 1,000 alumni campus employees here at Charlotte, which is pretty remarkable,” said Chancellor Sharon L. Gaber.
