Last night, UWRF presented the Distinguished Alumnus Award to Mary Ella Jerome. Generous donations from the Jerome Family Foundation fund two highly impactful scholarships in our department. The scholarships honor the legacy of Constance Rogneby Schollmeier who was a long time Program Associate in the department. I was honored to attend the award ceremony with out current scholarship recipients, Alexa Olstad and Evan Gudmunsen. Congrats to Mary Ella, and thanks to Alexa and Evan for representing us at the event.
