Celebrating Teaching that Transforms
Behind every great learning experience is a passionate educator. Each year, we recognize the incredible people who make UW’s learning community thrive by bringing energy, creativity and care to every classroom. From innovative course design to unforgettable instruction, these educators are making a real difference — and we’re proud to celebrate their impact.
