UWSP School of Education Scholarship Banquet 2024 Booklet

HABECK FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP Recipient: John Ziesemer Major: English

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.

She believed that all primary teachers should know how to teach reading and should consider it a foundation for all classroom learning.
