It has been my honor to serve UW-Whitewater for more than 30 years. I came here to teach at the Children’s Center and to work on my master’s degree. Very quickly, I found UW-Whitewater to be a good fit for me – the sense of community, the focus on meeting the needs of all students, the amazing arts and athletics events, were all reasons for staying. However, the most influential reasons to stay were the people I had the privilege to work with at the university and in the community. UW-Whitewater will forever hold a special place in my heart.
