University Outreach and Engagement hosted two webinars this fall to highlight the recipients of the 2020 President’s Engaged Scholarship Awards. This annual awards program recognizes Texas Tech faculty from all disciplines for a project or activity that demonstrates exemplary and sustained commitment to mutually beneficial partnerships with external communities. Recognized faculty apply their teaching, research, or creative activity to find innovative solutions to social, economic, or environmental issues for the benefit of specific communities or the general public, as well as the university and scholarship.

During the webinars, the award winners will provide an overview of their projects, and share best practices, challenges, and lessons learned. They will highlight the impacts that their engagement has had on student teaching and learning, research and innovation, as well as their scholarship. Graduate and undergraduate students who were involved in the award-winning projects will provide their perspectives and discuss the impacts that the experience has had on their learning, academic pathway, and career goals.
