Baylor Proud

Baylor profs receive NSF grant for ELG

Congratulations to Drs. Ian Gravagne and Kenneth Van Treuren on receiving a $145,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to support their Engaged Learning Group (ELG)!

You might remember reading about their group, titled “Energy and Society: the costs and benefits of an energy-dependant civilization,” in the summer ’07 issue of Baylor Magazine. In short, ELGs provide a unique opportunity for freshmen to meet with their fellow residents for weekly, interdisciplinary lectures and discussions about a particular issue. Gravagne and Van Treuren’s ELG is one of three that began this fall. It’s a unique way to dive into a topic with professors from across campus.

Sic ’em, Drs. Gravagne and Van Treuren!
