KELLY GARR DAWLEY SCHOLARSHIP Dr. Donna Garr and husband Phil established this scholarship following the death of their daughter and granddaughter. Kelly Garr Dawley was their only daughter; she died in a tragic automobile accident while pursuing a degree at UWSP as a non-traditional student. This scholarship rotates throughout the CPS majors. STEVE AND SHARI DAY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS INTERNSHIP SCHOLARSHIP After completing his associate degree at Gogebic Community College in Ironwood, Michigan, Steve Day transferred to Northern Michigan University in Marquette and received a bachelor’s degree. Even though his education was earned through the G.I. Bill, Steve applied for a veteran’s scholarship and was awarded for his two years at NMU. Steve was very grateful to have that additional money. Steve and Shari are pleased to be able to sponsor this scholarship at UWSP for a deserving veteran, drilling reservist or guardsman, or student. Also, the Day family views this scholarship as a tribute to Dr. Tom McCaig who was instrumental in establishing Steve’s philosophy on leadership and Dr. Bill Kirby who was very supportive and encouraging as Steve pursued his master’s degree. EXPANDING HORIZONS SCHOLARSHIP This scholarship is made possible by Marcia Tepp and Gary Hetzer. Marcia studied abroad as a business student and had experiences that would have never happened at home. The scholarship provides Business and Economic majors with the opportunity to study outside of the United States in a foreign environment developing their awareness of other cultures and experiencing people of all countries.
