ASLD? You Can't Go Any Higher Than This

Shirley Malcom, the 1998 Alumna Summa Laude Dignata (ASLD), joins a long list of distinguished University of Washington graduates who, since 1938, have been honored with this award. Other ASLD winners include artist Chuck Close, '62; Nobel Prize winning biochemist Martin Rodbell, '54; former Speaker of the House Tom Foley, '51, '57; and photographer Imogen Cunningham, '08. A panel of faculty, students and alumni confer the honor each year. Since the University does not confer honorary degrees, it is the highest honor the UW bestows upon its graduates.--Jon Marmor
