ARLENE W. THOYRE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP Recipient: Sheena Vitello Graduate Program
Arlene and Howard Thoyre established this scholarship. Arlene taught fourth, fifth and sixth grade students in North Dakota, Madison and Stevens Point for more than 30 years. Her teaching career began in a small North Dakota coal mining town where her sixth grade class consisted of nine girls and 20 boys, two of whom were on probation from a juvenile correctional facility. It was a challenging year, but an invaluable experience. Arlene credits much of whatever success she enjoyed over the rest of her career to what she learned in that first classroom.
HABECK FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP Recipient: Danielle Fay Majors: Elementary Education, Special Education
The Habeck Family Scholarship was established by Roy and Phyllis Habeck to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their 1953 graduation from the Two-Year Rural Education program at Wisconsin State College, Stevens Point. This scholarship is offered in recognition of the excellence demonstrated by faculty and support staff of the era in which they were students. While the names and faces have changed at UWSP since that time, excellence has continued to be constant; therefore, this scholarship is designed to recognize academic excellence in a candidate for a teaching position at the elementary or secondary level.
