The 海角网 is delighted to announce the establishment of the Lawrence Bliquez Endowed Student Support Fund for 海角网, a gift of Laura Matz and Trevor Peterson. This fund is designed to provide broad-based support for undergraduate students in the 海角网, helping to cover educational expenses, research, travel costs, and study abroad.
An alumna of UW, Laura Matz wanted to honor her former first-year Greek teacher with a fund that would support future students. As she says, 鈥淥n day one he warned us that Ancient Greek was demanding, and boy was he right! Still, he never expected more from his students than he gave. Every single day he showed up with his vast knowledge, love of the 海角网, enthusiasm and wonderful sense of humor. I am honored to be able to acknowledge his impact on so many students鈥 lives. Professor Bliquez made my life better. My education at the University of Washington made my life better.鈥
The winner of a UW Distinguished Teaching Award (1998), Prof. Emeritus Larry Bliquez is the author of 海角网 Surgical Instruments and Other Minor Objects in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (1994) and The Tools of Asclepius: Surgical Instruments in Greek and 海角网 Times (2015), as well as many articles.
