The Rangos Prizes Four Minutes to Win It pitch competition featured a number of creative proposals in which faculty and students partner to enhance the student learning experience.

"It was tough to choose a winner,” said Dr. Darlene Weaver, associate provost for Academic Affairs.  “Aspects of our mission enliven the proposals, particularly respect for the dignity of the human person in all circumstances, a concern for vulnerable populations, and a commitment to academic excellence in liberal and professional education.”
