For many years, the University of Washington
College of Arts & Sciences has honored some of its
most outstanding alumni by bestowing upon them the College's
Distinguished Alumnus Award. This award pays tribute to
honorees who embody a commitment to lifetime learning
and active citizenship.
In addition to honoring
these individual graduates at the College's annual Celebration
of Distinction dinner, both the award and the event contribute
to the awareness and appreciation of a liberal arts education
at the University by acknowledging the impact we can have
our community - locally, regionally and nationally.

The College of Arts
& Sciences is delighted to have had this opportunity
to recognize the significance of the accomplishments of
four distinguished individuals. We are immeasurably proud
of them, both as our alumni and as representatives of
the central role a liberal arts education plays in making
a difference to local, national, and international communities.
Education, at its best,
is an extraordinary process that liberates and inspires
students to lead rewarding lives that make a difference
to the world around them. As a College, we are an institution
in transition, dedicated to educating students in transition,
to live in a world in transition. We look forward to the
continued success of our current and future students as
we celebrate the accomplishments of our alumni.

and richly blessing all of us who love this great
university. my students were in awe of the alums'
that received their awards. Our doctoral students
realized they must indeed drink from very deep water.
I'm honored we can provide such a remarkable place
