Distinguished Staff Award

Inspiration surrounds us every day at the University of Washington and is on full display at the annual Distinguished Staff Award reception – our highest UW staff honor.

At the event this February 2024, we heard from UW President Ana Mari Cauce, Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs Ed Taylor, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dianne Harris, Harborview Medical Center CEO Sommer Kleweno Walley, and Vice President of Human Resources Mindy Kornberg.

You can now view photos from this recognition reception, and view the live stream.
