FACET's Annual Innovate Awards
The FACET Innovate Awards serve two important purposes that promote FACET’s mission. The awards recognize faculty who bring passion, innovation, and creativity to the classroom to promote student success. It also helps FACET share and disseminate best practices in teaching for the benefit of the entire IU community.
Voting is now open for the 2023 Innovate Awards finalists in the following categories:
