Teachers of the year
Why do we come to the UW? To learn. Lucky for us, we had the chance to meet the exceptional teachers honored here. They didn’t just teach us course material or put us on the path to a career. They inspired us. Challenged us. Pushed us. Opened our minds. Made us be our best.

The UW is helping to revive Native languages of the Pacific Northwest, thanks in part to a quirky professor's quest in the 1930s to preserve tribal legends and songs.
