The award is named in honor of retired administrator and faculty member Richard Law, who served as the director of general education from 1990 until his retirement in 2009. The award values the importance of general education/UCORE faculty in helping undergraduates attain WSU learning goals and outcomes, especially outside their majors.
Faculty members receiving this award are educators who inspire curiosity and understanding of an area of study and encourage development of the lifelong learning skills of integrating and synthesizing concepts to solve real problems.
Questions about the award or application/nomination process may be emailed to Karen Weathermon, chair of the award review committee, at kweathermon@wsu.edu, or to Holt at jmholt@wsu.edu.
