This award honors instructors who inspire excitement, inquiry, and autonomy in first-year courses. 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. 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 a reception Thursday, April 16th. The PIE Award is co-sponsored by Ellbogen CTL, LeaRN, Residence Life & Dining, and Center for Advising and Career Services. The purpose of the PIE award is to increase the focus on instructors who teach first-year students.
