For more than five decades, the University of Washington’s Awards of Excellence have celebrated faculty, staff, students and alumni whose achievements epitomize our University’s core values and mission of public service. These exceptional individuals enrich and diversify our community through their innovation, collaboration, dedication and passion for creating positive impact.

To honor these individuals, we depend on colleagues and students like you who have witnessed their outstanding work. We encourage you to acknowledge someone who embodies our shared values and makes the UW community special by nominating them for an Award of Excellence.

Nominations are now open for all awards, which are listed below. You can find detailed information about each award, including nomination criteria, descriptions and deadlines, on the Awards of Excellence nomination page.

We deeply appreciate your efforts to acknowledge the exceptional accomplishments within our community.
