Promoting Intellectual Engagement Award
LeaRN Program
The Promoting Intellectual Engagement (PIE) Award recognizes and honors instructors who inspire excitement, inquiry, and autonomy in
first-year courses. Recipients of the PIE Award are nominated by freshmen and sophomore
students in an on-line survey, and then selected by a committee based on thoughtfulness
and volume of student nominations. Student's descriptions of nominees reveal the heart
of excellence in lower-division instruction, courses that comprise the foundation
of students' college experience and the crucial seed of intellectual self-awareness.
Recipients will be honored at the 15th annual PIE Award reception on Thursday, April 25th in Wyoming Union Yellowstone
Ballroom. The PIE Award is co-sponsored by LeaRN, Ellbogen CTL, Center for Advising and Career
Services ACES, Dean of Students Office, and Residence Life & Dining.
