Lori Howe
Over the past two decades, Lori Howe has gone from being a University of Wyoming undergraduate student to one of the university’s most accomplished teachers.
Howe, now a visiting assistant professor in UW’s Honors College, is one of two recipients of the 2021 John P. Ellbogen Meritorious Classroom Teaching Award, established in 1977 by businessman John P. “Jack” Ellbogen, to “foster, encourage and reward excellence in classroom teaching at UW.” The other Ellbogen winner is Eva Ferre-Pikal, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
“Not only is Lori extremely successful in her teaching for the Honors College, but nearly every student also speaks to the passion, zeal and personal impact she has made upon their lives and careers, both academically and professionally,” says Leigh Selting, associate dean of the Honors College. “I can think of no more deserving faculty member for this award.”
