HALE QUANDT MEMORIAL AWARD Recipient: Emily Shipman Major: Physical Education Minor: Health Education
Friends and associates of the late Hale Quandt established this award in 1969. Hale’s initial assignment on campus was the unenviable task of working with the basketball and football programs at a time when men’s athletics had been eliminated at the university because there were too few men to create a team, due to World War II. He served as athletic director at UW- Stevens Point for 18 years.
