MACOMB, IL - The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Research at Western Illinois University will host the Faculty Research and Creative Activities Awards Wednesday, April 12 in the University Union Lamoine Room.

This event attempts to highlight the innovations in research and creative activities from across campus and disseminate/share the same across disciplines. Current full-time faculty were invited to submit proposals in two research categories, and the top three proposals in each category were invited to present. The WIU faculty member with the top rated proposal in each track will be awarded a $500 line item expenditure to further their research. (In the case of a co-authored study, this stipend will be equally divided between WIU proposal authors/presenters.)
