CAREER AWARD: In recognition of 30 years of service, Terry Nosho of the Washington Sea Grant Program has received the William Q. Wick Award for Visionary Career Leadership through Programming. The award will be presented on March 19 at the meeting of the Assembly of Sea Grant Extension Program Leaders in Baton Rouge, La. Nosho began his career as WSGP’s aquaculture specialist in 1972, shortly after completing his graduate studies in the UW’s fisheries program. He retired from Washington Sea Grant Program in January 2002.
PIONEERS IN AVIATION: When the Pioneers in Aviation documentary is shown on KCTS/9 at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 17, one member of the UW community will be prominently featured. Randolph Hennes, program associate in the Honors Program and affiliate assistant professor of history, will be giving commentary on the program. According to the documentary’s writer/director William Winship (who did graduate work at the UW), Hennes’ “urbanity and wide-ranging historical knowledge provide the kind of authority and wit so often missing in historical documentaries.”
DANCING GOETHE: UW Dance faculty Maria Simpson and Peter Kyle will premiere a new duet, Goethe Songs, on March 17 at On The Boards/The Behnke Center for Contemporary Performance. The new dance, set to Goethe’s romantic poetry in song, will be a feature performance of the upcoming “12 Minutes Max” showcase. On The Boards is located on lower Queen Anne at 100 W. Roy Street. The one-night performance is at 8 pm. Tickets are $7 and can only be purchased at the door. For additional information regarding “12 Minutes Max” visit On The Boards on-line at www.onthe boards.org, or call the box office at 206-217-9888.
