REDE Trendsetter Award Winners

Trendsetters lead the way. They are knowledgeable, consistent, willing to share their expertise, and enthusiastic about their work. They influence others to follow the paths they forge. REDE established this new award in 2022 to shine a light on trendsetters in research and creative activities at ECU. The goal is to recognize faculty from all career stages who we hope will inspire their peers.
