Learning Units: 1.50-Intermediate level

Training Units: 0.00-Training Area N/A

Educators are dealing with priorities in education and practice through innovative programs that have the potential to benefit or change education and practice. This year the EPN is proud to recognize six courses that address critical issues of the profession. Sustainability, collaboration, social issues and public engagement, and global practice are addressed in coursework the jury characterized as forward thinking and inspirational. One program took on the challenge of change in the curriculum to better respond to these challenges.

Award recipients from The Pennsylvania State University, University of Minnesota, University of Virginia, California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, Auburn University, and The University of Tennessee Knoxville will present their outstanding work. Following, will be panel discussion moderated by jury chair Joyce M. Noe, FAIA and a reception in the exhibit space just outside the seminar room.
