Densch-Buchanan Fisheries Scholarship
This scholarship was established by Alan C. Buchanan, originally from Lodi, Wis., who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fisheries from UW-Stevens Point in 1970 and 1976. Alan enjoyed a 25-year career with the Missouri Department of Conservation, where he became known as Missouri’s mussel “expert,” helping to write the National Strategy for the Conservation of Freshwater Mussels. Alan was the inaugural recipient of UW-Stevens Point’s Worth Scholarship (Fisheries) as a graduate student in 1974. He credits UW-Stevens Point with providing him with a “wide background in aquatic science which allowed me to be flexible to meet my employer’s needs.” Al met Lynette Densch in grad school and they are still together today.
