Promoting Intellectual Engagement Award
2020 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 will be honored at a reception in September (tentatively). The PIE Award
is co-sponsored by LeaRN, Ellbogen CTL, Residence Life & Dining, and Advising, Career
Services & Exploratory Studies.
