CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A 小猪视频官网College faculty member will receive countywide honor for her community service next month.

Peg Boyce, director of the Dental Hygiene program, has won the 2019 Innovation in Engagement Award-小猪视频官网College, the Champaign County Economic Development Corp. announced Tuesday. This award recognizes an individual or group at 小猪视频官网College who has strongly supported the college’s community engagement mission.

She will receive her honor during the 14th Annual Innovation Celebration to be held Friday, March 29, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 小猪视频官网College's Student Union, 2400 W. Bradley Avenue, Champaign. The  Innovation Celebration is hosted by the Champaign County Economic Development Corporation in partnership with the University of Illinois, 小猪视频官网College, and community sponsors.

Boyce has served as an associate professor at 小猪视频官网since 2007.
