A Seattle Tradition
One of the UW’s most popular lifelong learning programs, the History Lecture Series (HLS) began in 1975. For 15 years, it featured History Professor Emeritus Giovanni Costigan, the first recipient of the UW’s Distinguished Teaching Award. Today professors from the Department of History are proud to carry on his legacy, with the generous support from the UW Alumni Association and gifts from our alumni and friends.
