The UW Board of Regents has approved a proposal to name the new UW Tacoma assembly hall after William W. Philip, thanks to a multi-million-dollar gift from James A. Milgard.
The University of Washington Tacoma honored a respected community leader and an alumnus making a difference in the world at its 2007 Founders Day ceremony in June.
Michael Honey, professor of history and UW Tacoma founding faculty member, has been named the first recipient of the university's new Fred T. and Dorothy G. Haley Endowed Professorship in the Humanities.
Presented by the Milgard School of Business, recipients represent the South Sound's best business leaders.
