From a professor of "dead" languages to one who explains computer languages, from the founder of a "buyer's club" to an alumnae club serving the UW since 1909--the UW is honoring the best teachers, staff members and volunteers in an expanded awards program for 1998. Seven are UW professors chosen by a panel of faculty, students and alumni as this year's top teachers. Two are teaching assistants named by the same panel. Three awards honor the best in public service to the University and the community; and five awards go to outstanding staff members.
