FACULTY SPOTLIGHT PROF. POLLY PIERGIOVANNI 26 lafayette • SPRING 2010 “ I know each student’s interests. Working with them one-on-one, that’s what I like best, and I’m committed to it.”
“ The educational experience of Lafayette students, like those at other outstanding small colleges, depends fundamentally on the quality of the faculty and on the faculty’s effectiveness in maximizing each student’s intellectual development. The College takes justifiable pride in the accomplishments of its faculty as master teachers, talented guides and mentors, scholars of national distinction, and leaders within their disciplines.” —The Plan for Lafayette “When I came here to interview, I didn’t know much about places like Lafayette,” says Polly Piergiovanni, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering. A member of the faculty since 1990, she earned her Ph.D. at the University of Houston after doing her undergraduate work at Kansas State University. “Once I saw how engineering and the liberal arts can both be emphasized, I realized Lafayette was the perfect combination—small classes, a liberal arts environment, all these things that fit me.” A recipient of the College’s Marquis Distinguished Teaching Award, Piergiovanni teaches Introduction to Engineering and courses on unit operations, process control, and biochemical engineering. She also developed and teaches two interdisciplinary courses, a First-Year Seminar on quilts as a means of expression and communication and a VAST (Values and Science/Technology) seminar on the chemistry and impacts of indigo dye. She has mentored more than 25 students in collaborative research projects, independent studies, and honors theses.
