In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Humanities Washington is recognizing 50 individuals and organizations across the state with the Humanities Washington Award—a special expansion of their annual program that usually honors just two recipients each year.
We’re proud to share that Professor Emeritus LeRoy Ashby of the WSU Department of History has been named as a recipient of the 2025 Humanities Washington Award.
This statewide recognition celebrates Dr. Ashby’s lifelong dedication to teaching, scholarship, and community engagement, work that has enriched the humanities both at WSU and throughout Washington.
An online celebration honoring all recipients will take place on December 10.
