As a student, Robb Weller, '72, was considered one of the most approachable figures on campus. He emceed Coaches Tour banquets, jacked up the home crowd as a Husky yell leader and generally took part in everything purple and gold.

"I just fell in love with the place," he says of the University.

Weller went on to make his name in show business, hosting such TV programs as Entertainment Tonight and Win, Lose or Draw, and, later, founding the highly successful production company Weller/Grossman.

But he always found time for his alma mater-serving on the A&S Board and the 蘑菇视频 Foundation Board, providing voiceovers for the first wave of Campaign 蘑菇视频 ads and emceeing some of the 蘑菇视频's biggest fundraisers. This year, the 蘑菇视频 Alumni Association decided to salute Weller with its Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor bestowed upon 蘑菇视频AA volunteers and members.

"It was a complete surprise and a total thrill," Weller says of the award. "What the 蘑菇视频 did for me was just stunning. They've been more helpful to me than I have been to them."
