Certificate in Public Scholarship

The Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington announces a new graduate Certificate in Public Scholarship, designed to bring together cross-disciplinary cohorts of graduate students and faculty interested in public scholarship in the cultural disciplines and other fields that work with culture as a form of public practice. Upon admission, students become Simpson Center Public Scholarship Fellows, are assigned a portfolio advisor, and pursue a self-directed 15-credit course of study that includes a capstone project. Coursework begins autumn 2010. For more information on the Certificate in Public Scholarship, visit www.simpsoncenter.org/publicscholarship.

UW Grads Receive Future Leaders Award
Two University of Washington graduate students have received the 2010 K. Patricia Cross Future Leaders Award from American Association of Colleges & Universities.  The award recognizes exemplary promise as a future leader of higher education; demonstrated commitments to developing academic and civic responsibility in self and others; and a strong work emphasis on teaching and learning. As Carol Geary Schneider, AAC&U’s president states, award recipients “represent the finest in the new generation of faculty who will teach and lead higher education in the next decades.”
