Freshman Summit Faculty
UW faculty play a significant role in Summit 09. Faculty input and investment have strongly contributed to shaping the program goals and activities. Because Summit 09 aims to help students with the transition to coursework, critical thinking, and classroom etiquette, the August 21 Faculty “sneak peek” session offers students their first encounter with faculty-student communication and best practices. Over seventy faculty have volunteered to lead the small-group sessions after being nominated by students, faculty, and administrators as ideal candidates for the event. See a list of sneak peek faculty here. President’s Welcome AddressYou’re Invited! All UW faculty are invited to attend the President’s Welcome Address and reception on Thursday, August 20 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. This event will welcome incoming students into the University of Wyoming, introduce them to core campus traditions, and ceremonially initiate the class of 2009. A strong faculty presence enhances the meaning and academic significance of this event. RSVP for the President's Welcome Address! PIE Awards

Recipients of the PIE Award are nominated on-line by sophomore students, and then selected by a committee based on thoughtfulness and volume of student nominations.
