In the Spotlight

Elizabeth Brite

Exceptional Early Career Teaching Award: Elizabeth Brite

Exploring student interests opens a path for learning, Elizabeth Brite believes — even a path to Central Asia. A clinical assistant professor in the Honors College, Brite came to Purdue in 2014 to help establish its fledgling Honors College. Helping to define the college’s inaugural curricula and culture was an effort, Brite says, "to get a handle on the culture that is already Purdue, while finding something that both fits and is new within that."
