James and Ellen Hardin Wildlife Field Scholarship
This endowed scholarship, established by family, alumni and friends, honors the memory of Jim Hardin, a beloved member of the Wildlife faculty at UW-Stevens Point since 1978. Jim continued to advise students during his “retirement” until the fall of 2014, when he became ill and died in November 2014. This scholarship supports students who will serve as seasonal teaching assistants at the College’s summer six-week Field Techniques in Natural Resources course, which Jim faithfully taught for many years.

James Newman Treehaven Scholarship
This scholarship honors the memory of Jim Newman, who was a member of the College of Natural Resources Forestry faculty for 25 years (1961-1985) and served as Assistant Dean. Newman is credited with establishing the forestry major and launching the College’s “summer camp” program, now a six-week summer field techniques course, a highlight of the College’s curriculum. Newman’s philosophy, still prominent now, is that the College exists to serve students and students are the College’s best recommendation.
