Graduate Medal in the Humanities
I am no doubt honored to say I recently received the 2011 College of Arts and Sciences Graduate Medal in the Humanities at the University of Washington. According to the College newsletter, Perspectives:
Each year, the College of Arts and Sciences presents the Dean’s Medal to four exceptional graduating seniors, representing the College’s four divisions—arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Now the College is celebrating its graduate students as well, with the introduction of an annual Graduate Medal, also with one recipient per division.
“These annual medals are an opportunity to shine a spotlight on some of our very best students,” says Ana Mari Cauce, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “Our graduate students deserve to share in that spotlight. With so many remarkable students, the challenge is to limit our selection to one undergraduate and one graduate student from each of our divisions.”

A big thank you to the College and to Dean Cauce for their work, support, and this kind gesture.
