Dr. John Larsen served in the UWSP Office of Admissions starting in 1964 and retired as Director of Admissions in 1996. His wife Ann Janda Larsen received her master’s degree in nutrition and food science from UWSP. Thirteen additional family members have earned bachelor’s and or master’s degrees at UWSP. Their Pointer bloodline runs deep. Following Dr. Larsen’s death in 2018, the family was moved to establish a scholarship to honor their parents’ lifetime decisions, and to acknowledge the impact of education in their own lives. They believe that a teacher makes a difference in the life of a student, and in the life of a community.
