UW’s Top First-Year Course Instructors Honored

The University of Wyoming has presented PIE (Promoting Intellectual Engagement) Awards to 38 instructors who inspire excitement, inquiry and autonomy in first-year courses.

The PIE Award recognizes faculty members who inspire students intellectually in first-year courses. It is sponsored by several programs within the Office of Academic Affairs and the Division of Student Affairs: the Center for Advising and Career Services, the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning, the LeaRN Program, and Residence Life and Dining Services.

PIE Award recipients were nominated online by first- and second-year students, and then selected by a committee based on the number of nominations and students’ comments. The committee reviewed more than 240 nominations.
