There wasnâ??t a lot of suspense over what Emily Auerbach would do with the $5,000 that comes with winning UW-Madisonâ??s Van Hise Outreach Teaching Award. Auerbach, who will accept the award today in a ceremony at the Pyle Center, is donating the entire amount to the Odyssey Project – a free, university-level humanities course for low-income adults that Auerbach launched in 2003.
