J. Ray Bowen served as the University of Washington’s Dean of Engineering from 1981-1996. Upon his retirement, the J. Ray Bowen Professorship for Innovation in Education was established “to recognize distinguished faculty in the College of Engineering who display dedication to educational innovation and curriculum development.”
Effective July 1, CSE’s Dan Grossman will assume the Bowen Professorship. Dan earned this distinction for a wide range of contributions: leading CSE through a major modernization of our undergraduate curriculum, leading our efforts to utilize the Coursera MOOC platform, superb classroom teaching, superb student mentoring, and a world-class research program.
Congratulations Dan!
