Alumni and friends of UW are invited to send in nominations for the UW’s most prestigious award for alumni and former students: the Alumnus Summa Laude Dignatus (ASLD). The honor is presented to an alumnus or alumna who has reached the pinnacle of their career or field since their graduation from the UW. The award is based on the individual’s lifetime record. In addition to being a UW graduate, nominees must be known for their support of the UW, have received national or international stature, and they must be able to come to the UW to receive the recognition in June 2012. Previous recipients include Jane Lubchenco, ’71, and businessman Bruce Nordstrom, ’55. The deadline is Jan. 31, 2012. UWalum.com/ASLD.
