University of Pittsburgh Honors College students Benjamin Gordon, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering in the School of Engineering, and Stanley Steers, a sophomore majoring in physics and music in the School of Arts and Sciences, have been awarded 2007 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships for their exceptional independent research in the science and engineering disciplines.

Eleven teaching proposals have been selected for funding under the Provost’s Advisory Council on Instructional Excellence’s Eighth Annual Innovation in Education Awards Program. The projects range from developing virtual hospitals to enhancing the civil engineering curriculum.

University of Pittsburgh Visiting Lecturer Barbara Weissberger, whose dynamic contemporary art has been exhibited internationally, has won a 2007 Guggenheim Fellowship.
