Synergistic Activities
    Lazowska has received the Seattle Alliance for Education A+ Partnership Award and the University of Washington Outstanding
    Public Service Award for more than a decade of high-impact contributions to K-12 outreach and educational technology in the
    Seattle area and throughout the State of Washington. On the UW campus, he was one of two PIs on the University of Washington's
    two NSF CSEMS projects, and received the 2007 Computer Science & Engineering Undergraduate Teaching Award. Under his
    leadership as chair, UW Computer Science & Engineering received the first UW Brotman Award for Instructional Excellence and
    CSE faculty received 4 UW Distinguished Teaching Awards and the UW Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award. Nationally, he
    received the 2005 Computing Research Association Distinguished Service Award for outstanding service to the computing research
    community, and the 2005 ACM Presidential Award from the Association for Computing Machinery "for showing us how to
    advocate effectively for IT research and advanced education." He serves on the Board of Directors of the Washington Digital
    Learning Commons, and on the Executive Advisory Council of the National Center for Women and Information Technology.
