Promoting Intellectual Engagement Award
2019 Award Recipients
The Promoting Intellectual Engagement (PIE) 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 were honored at a reception Tuesday, April 23rd. The PIE Award is co-sponsored
by LeaRN, Ellbogen CTL, Residence Life & Dining, and Advising, Career Services & Exploratory
Studies.
