Each year, we invite our UW Computer Science & Engineering undergraduates to identify “influential teachers” who shaped their careers prior to arriving at UW. We host a dinner for the teachers, their guests, and the students who nominated them. There are three goals: to honor these life-changing teachers, to reacquaint them with their highly successful students, and (crassly) to get them to send us more great students.
This year’s dinner was held on June 3rd. Photos (taken by our own Bruce Hemingway) from the event may be viewed here. (Select “Inspirational Teacher Dinner-2009” in the upper left.) Information regarding past nominees may be found here.
Congratulations to the teachers recognized this year!!
