The Marsha L. Landolt Distinguished Graduate Mentor Award allows the UW Graduate School to honor those members of the faculty who exemplify excellence in graduate education.
Gaetano Borriello, the Jerre D. Noe Professor of Computer Science & Engineering, has been announced as the 2014 recipient of this award. In his letter announcing the award, UW President Michael Young said: “Your students and colleagues nominated you with the highest praise for your exemplary commitment and skill in mentoring graduate students. They strongly commend you for raising the quality of graduate programs, for recruiting some of the very best students, and for setting an outstanding example of work-life balance. I join them in their tribute to you and extend my congratulations and appreciation for your outstanding dedication and service.”
The award will be presented to Gaetano by President Young at the annual UW Awards of Excellence ceremony on Thursday June 12th, 2014, from 3:30 to 4:30 in Meany Hall.
