PACCE helps students Experience, Grow and Make a difference
It was one of the university’s goals
last year to develop initial programming
of the UWP Pioneer Academic Center for
Community Engagement. One year later,
PACCE has allowed over 800 UWP students
to Experience, Grow and Make a Difference
through PACCE programming in several
different disciplines.
PACCE projects bring together UWP
students, community partners and faculty
members. Students are funded for costs of
travel, supplies, services and other associated
expenses to work on community-based
projects. Students work under the guidance
of faculty members and community partners
to complete the projects. In the fall 2008 semester, there were
18 PACCE projects in the works. A few
months later, in the spring 2009 semester,
45 PACCE projects provided students with
service learning experience outside of the
classroom, faculty with new options for
curriculum enrichment and community
partners with a variety of resources to tackle
local challenges.
As PACCE continues to grow, new
initiatives such as an internship program
have been developed. This summer, 16 UWP
students got funded through PACCE to
complete internships within the community.
45 PACCE projects were completed
over the spring 2009 semester.
Engineering students built various
devices for local students with physical
and mental challenges as part of their
project. The final projects included an
ergonomically friendly cleaning
tool (1), a learning platform (2) and
a human-powered vehicle (3). UWP
business students (4) completed a
PACCE project for the city of Platteville,
working with area landlords. The
engineering and business students,
though working in two totally different
areas, learned how to apply classroom
skills in realistic situations -- helping their
community along the way.
UWP Establishes agreement with Iowa Colleges
Students transferring to UWP from
Kirkwood Community and Eastern Iowa
Community Colleges will now have their
general education requirements met.
The UWP University Undergraduate
Curriculum Committee recently passed
a new agreement, which makes this
possible.
In the past, credits were transferred
from these campuses course by course.
Because of this, some credits did not always
transfer. With the new agreement, students
with an Associate of Science or Associate
of Arts degree from KCC or EICC
will automatically have their general
education credits transfer as a package.
The exceptions are gender, ethnic and
4 Alumni Today
international credits. If students did not take
gender, ethnic or international courses while
at KCC or EICC, they must complete them
at UWP.
These students may also take advantage
of UWP’s Tri-State Initiative program, which
allows qualified Iowa and Illinois residents to
attend UWP at reduced tuition rates.
UWP already accepts general education
credits as a package from students with
Associate of Arts or Associate of Science
degrees from UW Colleges, Illinois
community colleges and Northeast Iowa
Community College. The general education
requirements at NICC, KCC and EICC are
similar, which was another reason for making
the agreement.

UWP welcomes

UWP program recognized by Regents for
diversity achievements
The UWP Master of Science in
Education in adult education program
received the UW System Board of Regents
Diversity Award in March. The program has
been reaching out to minority students since
its inception in 1995.
“I believe this graduate program is an
excellent example of our university serving
the state of Wisconsin and particularly
Wisconsin’s working adult population
to develop new skills and acquire new
knowledge while continuing to serve their
employers and the people of Wisconsin,”
said UWP Chancellor David Markee in a
letter of recommendation.
The MSE in adult education program
currently serves 125 students with classes
in Milwaukee, Racine, Beloit and Madison.
Forty percent of students are African
American and nine percent are Hispanic or
Latino, making it UWP’s largest minority
program.
“The award validates what we’ve
been doing, reaching out to minorities in
Wisconsin. Diversity makes us all stronger
and more well-rounded,” said Patricia
Bromley, coordinator the MSE in adult
education program.
Because most students work during
the week, classes are held on weekends in
an effort to make the program convenient.
Interactive television is used to keep the
program affordable. Instructors teach one
weekend at each location and students
from the other locations interact with them
through interactive television.
Bromley said that the students in
each class are diverse either by geographic
location, age, race or occupation.
One of the students, Patricia Gomez,
is a public television producer. Among her
accomplishments, she hosts and produces
“Adelante!” on Milwaukee Public Television.
“I was very afraid when I started, but
UWP instructors are kind and helpful and I
got over my fear,” said Gomez.

“We are proud of the people who
live, work, teach and learn in this region
and we know that our people enjoy a high
quality of life. We also know that many
of the students who attend our university
are eager to pursue employment in the
region,” Markee said. “UWP’s strengths
in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics are a good match to the
needs of IBM,” he added.
“Regional partnerships are the key to
a dynamic and robust future in this tristate region,” Markee said. UWP has worked through the years
to develop and nurture partnerships
with business, industry, agencies
and municipalities. “We applaud Dubuque and
the tri-state community in working
together to bring good things to the
region. We look forward to a strong
and productive relationship with
IBM,” Markee said.

UWP biology students get hands-on medical practice
experience at Southwest Health Center
This summer, five University of
Wisconsin-Platteville biology/pre-medical
students participated in a brand-new
program through the UW School of
Medicine and Public Health. The six-week
program, called Rural and Urban Scholars
in Community Health, is designed to
give biology/pre-med students an idea of
what it is like to practice medicine in the
underserved rural or urban health areas of
Wisconsin.
UWP and UW-Milwaukee were the
only two UW System schools that had
students participating in the program this
summer. The five students selected from
UWP will be given special consideration for
admission to the UW School of Medicine
and Public Health. Students underwent
a vigorous application process in March
to take part in the program. Their GPAs
had to be at least 3.0 and they needed to
have completed certain math, chemistry
and biology courses. Students submitted
a resume, transcripts, references and two
letters of recommendation. A panel
consisting of faculty and staff from the UW
School of Medicine and Public Health and
UWP reviewed applications, interviewed the
students and made their final selections in
April.
On May 26, the selected UWP
students walked through the doors of
Southwest Health Center in Platteville
for their first day with the RUSCH
program.
Medical Associates and Maski and
Maski Clinic also hosted students for
clinical shadowing.
Jeff Huebschman, chair of the
UWP biology department, expressed
his excitement for the program. "We
are thrilled about the opportunities
this new program will present for our
6 Alumni Today
students,” he said. "It prepares them
for medical school and gives them an
early idea of what the medical field is
all about."
One item that was critical to
the success of the RUSCH program
was the cooperation between
students and Southwest Health
Center doctors and staff. "We hugely

way," Huebschman said.
Cooperation between UWP and the
UW School of Medicine and Public Health
was also necessary in order for RUSCH to be
a successful program.
"UWP has been a phenomenal partner
for RUSCH from day one," said Alison
Klein, facilitator for the RUSCH program
at the UW School of Medicine and Public
Health. "The level of enthusiasm on the part
of Dr. Huebschman and Dr. Weber and
everyone at UWP has been outstanding and

Forensic Investigation house to bring UWP campus and
community together
The University of WisconsinPlatteville has approval from the University
of Wisconsin Board of Regents and the
Wisconsin Building Commission to break
ground on the Forensic Investigation Crime
Scene House, the first of its kind in the
Midwest. The house will be built on the
UWP Pioneer Farm and used for UWP
criminal justice students and community
law enforcement agents to learn about
forensic investigation in a realistic, hands-on
environment.
The house will also create opportunities
for UWP students in the building
construction management program.
The Wisconsin Building Commission
granted UWP permission to have the
forensic laboratory house built by building
construction management students as part of
their final senior project. BCM students will
continue to learn after the house is complete
by using monitoring equipment to measure
humidity levels and other relevant data
throughout the year.
“The best part about this new facility
is that it will increase practical application
for both criminal justice and BCM students,
and other individuals who use it,” said Aric
Dutelle, UWP criminal justice lecturer.
“They will apply what they are learning in
the classroom to realistic
situations, going beyond the textbook.”
After BCM students design and build
the three-bedroom, 1,500 square-foot house,
it will be set up like an actual residence.
One of the bedrooms will be equipped with
closed-circuit television so instructors can
observe and record how students investigate
burglaries, homicides and other domesticbased crimes. According to Dutelle, the
television will allow instructors to monitor
and control different crime scene scenarios.
Instructors can observe students and provide
more effective feedback.
“The community will also benefit from
the forensic research house because local law
enforcement agencies will be able to use the
house for night crime scene training,” said
Dutelle.
Doug McKinley, Platteville chief of
police, wrote a letter in support of the
project. “I believe the house is going to
be a valuable training resource, especially
in our part of the state where quality law
enforcement facilities are few and far
between,” said McKinley.
“UWP students, Southwest Wisconsin
Technical College Law
Enforcement Academy attendees and area
law enforcement personnel will benefit
by using the forensic research house for
scenario-based training to simulate actual
crime scenes. The facility will add a new level
of realism to our training,” McKinley added.
The house will be built by the fall of
2010 with construction beginning this
summer.

UWP opens engineering hall
S
of EM
The University of
Wisconsin-Platteville opened its
new engineering building on Saturday, Dec.
13, 2008, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony
that recalled the program’s rich history and
looked toward the future.
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle attended the
ceremony and spoke along with Chancellor
David Markee and Richard Shultz, dean of
the College of Engineering, Mathematics
and Science.
“This state needs highly educated
people and we need good engineers,”
Doyle said. “We need to double and
triple the number of engineers we are
educating. Obviously, this facility is a
big part of that.”
Doyle said that the nation’s
current fiscal woes were brought
about in part because much of the
economy wasn’t based on things
with real value.
“It is so important that we
get back to basics and get focused
on an economy that is based on
Dean
people producing goods and services of real
value.”
Shultz said that the $25.6 million
building grew from a dream and a need
to continue expanding and modernizing a
program that has outgrown its current home
in Ottensman Hall, which was built in the
1960s.
“This is not just additional space, but
better space,” he said.
Markee said the building is a significant
advancement for the campus and noted that
25 percent of the funding was raised in the
private sector through gifts.

While there, EWB worked with citizens
of the villages of Nsumia and Papase,
located approximately 20 miles north of
the country’s coastal capital, Accra, and
concentrated on two projects. The first
project was to repair a badly deteriorated
roadway that links the village of Nsumia
to area communities. Owusu-Ababio said
that the goal was to increase economic
activity within the region and to provide
quicker access to the only health clinic
in the region located five miles away in the village of Doboro. The second project
implemented erosion control around the
Papase elementary school. The existing
area has been victim to devastating rainfall
damage and has restricted vehicle access
to the school. The group also provided

Creativity thrives at UWP with novel writing and a film festival
The College of Liberal Arts and
Education has always striven to stimulate
creativity at UWP. This year, Wendy Perkins
continued her tradition of bringing novel
writing to students. Also, UWP held the
first French Film Festival to bring a different
cultural perspective to students’ thinking.
Seven University of WisconsinPlatteville students and Perkins each wrote
a 50,000-word novel during the month of
November.
This is the third novel that Wendy
Perkins, lecturer in humanities/English, has
written during the month of November as
part of a nationwide project, the National
Novel Writing Month.
One of the UWP students who
achieved her goal of writing 50,000
words this year was Epros Weiss, a
freshman from Peoria, Ill., majoring in
criminal justice and psychology. This
was her fourth successful attempt to
get down 50,000 words in a month.
In addition to Weiss, the other
UWP students who wrote 50,000word novels in November were Katie
Shanahan, Chelsie Fritz, Matt Pagel,
Ryan DeFlorin, Melinda Rupp and
Nick Vis. Perkins said two others came
very close: Chris Behling, and John
Wardlow.

UWP students travel to Honduras for
criminal justice class
UWP lecturer Aric Dutelle and Joseph
Lefevre led a group of 12 students to Roatan,
Honduras, in January, for a class that
focused on underwater search and recovery
skills, underwater photography and exposure
to law enforcement in another country.
The students also toured local and
national police facilities, including a jail and
a fire department.
Class members brought a variety of law
enforcement supplies and donated them to
their Honduran hosts. Each student donated
$30 toward the cost of the supplies, which
included evidence packaging, body bags,
crime scene tape and handcuffs.
While this was the third time Dutelle
has taken UWP students to Honduras, it
was his 13th visit to the country where he
has been involved with consulting and other
law enforcement projects.
Pioneer Players entertain the UWP community for over 50 years
Each year, approximately 3,000 people
see theatrical productions put on by the
University of Wisconsin-Platteville Pioneer
Players. The group exists to entertain, learn
new theatrical skills and promote the theater.
Everything is done by the students and
two faculty advisors, Ann Farrelly and David
Schuler, both professors of theater. Pioneer
Players will put on six shows this year. Each
show is a three-month process that begins
with production meetings. Students then
design and produce costumes, sets and
lighting. Rehearsals are held for three hours
a day, five days a week and last five to eight
weeks.
“It prepares us (for a career in theater)
by giving us experience. We get to be
involved in all aspects of a show. It gives us
the opportunity to see what we
want to pursue,” said Tiffany Hess,
president of Pioneer Players.

Distance Learners Find Many Ways to Connect
As technology continues to evolve
(explode is probably a better word) in our
world, it is amazing how many different
ways there are for people to connect. Use of
cell phones, instant messaging, Facebook,
LinkedIn, online discussion groups,
blogs, Twitter, RSS feeds, etc. – the list is
endless as people look for various ways to
communicate with one another. Things like
e-mail are now considered old technology
and there’s always another latest and greatest
just around the corner.
As with every new major development,
there are good and bad outcomes. Even
with all of the various ways to connect in
our world, it can still be a lonely place. It is
easy to not make a deep connection in some
cases, because the technology has become so
pervasive. Sometimes when people have too
many options, they don’t take advantage of
any of them.
On the flip side of this coin,
technology can allow people to connect
and communicate when it is convenient
and responses can be well thought out and
deeper in meaning. Many times people
think that students in distance programs
must be very lonely because they don’t
meet people face-to-face. However,
numerous students indicate in
their course evaluations that they
had more meaningful conversations
and felt more connected to their
classmates than when they were in an
on-campus class. In fact, a new study
recently released by the U.S. Department
of Education indicates that distance
learners perform equal to or better than
their on-campus counterparts. One
particular reason was the impact of
the connections that were made in the
distance environment.

In May, the UWP Distance Learning
Center celebrated with several graduates

though they had never been here. They are
and will be Pioneers, forever, no matter

The 2008-09 year was one filled with
milestones, record-breakers and national
playoffs for the UWP Athletic Department.
The Pioneers returned to national
prominence in men’s basketball, compiling
a 23-6 record and earning the school’s first
number one ranking since 1999. Behind
first-team All-American center Jeff Skemp,
the Pioneers advanced to the NCAA III
playoffs for the first time in a decade,
beating Hope (Mich.) 83-59 before falling
in overtime to host and third-ranked
Wheaton 74-69. Before the season even
began, the Pioneers registered one of the
biggest wins in school history, beating
Division I Bradley 84-79 in front of more
than 8,000 fans in Peoria, Ill. Coach Paul
Combs, who led the Pioneers for six years,
moved on to Division II Wayne State and
was replaced by long-time assistant Jeff
Gard (see box).
While the men’s basketball team made its
11th national playoff, the men’s soccer team
qualified for the NCAA III tournament for
the first time. Coach Enzo Fuschino’s squad
were 13-4-1 during the regular season and
then beat Wartburg 1-0 on Ben Terpening’s
goal for the first playoff win in school history.
Among the top individual
performances of the year:
• Coach Deb Schulman joined an elite

Recognizing
Mission-Driven Leadership
After 37 years in higher education – the last 13 of them
at UW-Platteville – Chancellor Emeritus David Markee
has retired, leaving behind a legacy of programming
and building initiatives which will serve the tri-state
community for generations to come.
16 Alumni Today
Chancellor Emeritus David and Lou Ann Markee
Excerpted from the March 8, 2009 edition
of the Telegraph Herald
By Craig D. Reber
TH staff writer/[email protected]
Though UWP Chancellor David
Markee is retiring in August, he will
long be remembered for the rich legacy
of programming and building initiatives
he pioneered through his 13 years as the
school’s energetic leader.
Area business leaders like David Fritz
and Jim Schneller credit Markee’s leadership
for the university’s growth – academically
and in campus expansion.
“He’s a transformational leader,”
Schneller said. “It’s his vision. Take a look
at what he’s done. It’s very, very impressive.
And he’s never been one to stand up in the
spotlight and take credit – he prefers to give
others credit. But make no mistake, he has
made a tremendous impact on the university.”
Markee has led the university since
August 1996. During his tenure, the
former Platteville High School English
teacher has shepherded the creation of a
number of programs and initiatives. He
has encouraged the development of webbased academic programs, created sister
schools and related exchange programs,
and he was instrumental in establishing a
Confucius Institute on campus (UWP is
the only Wisconsin institution to offer one).
He worked to bring in Nippon Telegraph
and Telephone Corp., which opened a
United States office on the campus. And

Markee was not

I was in school giving a tour to

the time to say hello and ask how
my family and I were doing; he
then showed the same kindness
to the people in my group. After
we walked away, the group
couldn’t believe that a chancellor
would be so approachable
and caring. Chancellor Markee
showed that same compassion
when you saw him on campus,
in the community with his family
or traveling overseas. Leadership
and character like that trickled
down throughout the Pioneer
family. Chancellor Markee will
be very hard to replace and
greatly missed.”

that he attained while at the same
time creating and maintaining lasting
relationships with UWP faculty, staff
and community members.
When we look back and evaluate
past UWP chancellors, individuals
are remembered for being a good
educator, a good builder, a good
administrator or a good politician.
Markee obtained the

– including the
Pioneer Farm’s

Center and the
$2.6 million Dairy

Over the past 10 years,
the university’s enrollment has grown 35
percent, from 5,560 students to 7,512.
The chancellor was the driving force
behind the Tri-State Initiative, which started
in the fall of 2005. A state-approved plan,
it allows UWP to add 2,000 students to
address future state work force needs –
particularly in the sciences and engineering
areas. In September 2006, students moved
into the $20 million Southwest Hall – built
to help accommodate that student influx.
The plan is steadily moving forward.
“There have been numerous chancellors
over the years, but David Markee will go
down in the history books as the individual
who guided the university to one of the
top universities in the Midwest,” Fritz said.

that the other WIAC coaches and
athletes are very jealous of our

John Gallo
Gallo Rolls into UW-Platteville
Industrial Studies alumnus shares leadership secrets
John Gallo, a University of
Wisconsin-Platteville industrial studies
alumnus, executive vice president of
business operations for Rolls-Royce
Corp. and instrument rated private
pilot, flew into Platteville on April 3.
His presentation, “Leadership in a
Rapidly Changing World,” was part
of the 100th anniversary celebration
of the UWP Department of Industrial
Studies.
“His presentation takes on a greater
meaning with what has occurred in the
economy,” said Frank Steck, UWP
professor of technology education.
Gallo began his presentation by
dissolving the myth that Rolls-Royce
makes cars. “We don’t make
20 Alumni Today
cars. BMW makes the cars and Rolls-Royce
gets a royalty check each month. I own an
old Ford,” said Gallo.
He went on to explain his life after
UWP and secrets on leadership principles.
Gallo shared examples of how those
principles have worked in his career.
Gallo graduated from UWP in
1986 with a degree in industrial studies
management. He liked the small class sizes
at UWP and felt it was the right school for
him. He was also involved in Delta Sigma
Phi fraternity.
“Living in the Delta Sig house with
people of all different backgrounds made
me understand the importance of diversity.
It was one of the best experiences I had at
UWP,” said Gallo.
After graduation, he wanted to go to
Alaska, but didn’t have enough money, so he
took a job with Hormel Foods in Nebraska.
After a year, he married his ninth grade
sweetheart and shortly after secured a job
with GE, manufacturing medical diagnostic
imaging equipment. His office was right
next to the Waukesha Airport.
“As I saw the planes coming in and
taking off everyday, I always thought to
myself, ‘it would be cool to fly,’” said Gallo.
His interest in aviation led him to
a job at Piper Aircraft in Vero Beach,
Fla. There, he used his
leadership principles to make significant
changes in the company, which resulted in
higher quality products and productivity.
Gallo described how he was an
influencer at Piper Aircraft. When his
ideas for change were challenged, Gallo
persevered and got his pilots license to
become more familiar with the aviation
industry. Doing so also earned him the
respect of his co-workers.
“It’s like becoming part of a family. You
have to understand what’s going on before
you can try to be understood. Managers
show how to get things done. Leaders show
the way to get things done,” said Gallo.
After Piper Aircraft made changes and
facility renovations under Gallo’s direction,
two hurricanes caused significant damage
to the facilities. One of the principles that
helped Gallo get through these challenging
times was “doing what his mother taught
him.” Gallo said that meant upholding the
values of respect, honesty, fairness, helping
the weak, resisting the wicked, courtesy
and forgiveness.
John Gallo revisits the UWP foundry
before his presentation.
John Gallo, a 1986 alumnus, flew into Platteville in his jet this April before
presenting to a standing room only audience. Gallo’s presentation,
“Leadership in a Rapidly Changing World,” focused on his life after UWP, his
insights on leadership principles and examples of how those principles have
worked in his career. Gallo’s presentation was part of the 100th anniversary
celebration of the UWP Department of Industrial Studies. Gallo is the
executive vice president of business at Rolls-Royce Corp.
After Piper, Gallo took the opportunity
to move back to the Midwest by taking a
job at Rolls-Royce in Indianapolis, where
he moved up to his current position. RollsRoyce is a global manufacturer of integrated
power systems for use on land, sea and air.
The company produces engines for jets and
marine vehicles for civilian and defense use,
as well as power turbines. He said that while
the challenges were completely different, the
leadership principles still applied.
He concluded his presentation with
another principle, the 4 Es and R. He
explained that the type of people he brings
to his team have energy, they energize,
execute, have an edge and form working
relationships.
Gallo pulled in a standing room only
audience, who later shared their thoughts on
Gallo’s presentation.
“I thought it was an excellent
presentation on leadership. If people
demonstrate the four Es and R when they’re
finding a job, they’ll generally find the right
position. His other messages were right
on. I like the notion of the influencer and
impresser and of course, everyone should
listen to what their mother says,” said Duane
Ford, interim provost.
Dick Klawiter, retired chair of the
UWP Department of Industrial Studies,
commented, “Gallo’s message was
outstanding. He put it in a way where
people could say, yeah, that makes sense.”
Jason Cliff is a senior
in industrial studies who
came to Gallo’s presentation.
“It was nice to see someone
from UWP who is such a
success come back to speak. It
was interesting to see where he’s
been. He has our major and
went out to be successful. He
had some good techniques,”
Cliff said.

Harnessing energy
David Baker graduated from the
University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a
Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical
engineering in May of 1984. In 2006,
Baker started a company called PDM
Solar Inc., located in Wausau, Wis. The
company focuses on using solar energy to
power air conditioners for large industrial
buildings 25,000 square feet and up.
Baker was the inventor of the
technology used in the device. The system
uses solar energy for its power source so
it doesn’t have to rely on fossil fuels. The
environmentally friendly unit uses lowgrade thermal energy, also known as waste
heat, and concentrates its energy to a point
where it can power a steam turbine, or
more directly, an air conditioning unit. It
generates no carbon dioxide emissions and
no other chemical pollution.
Currently, the product is in the
development stage. “We are working on
our first operational unit in Phoenix,”
Baker said.
According to Baker, PDM’s system

because they have more power available
to run the system. The first systems
are designed to be used on large
commercial, industrial, retail and
storage buildings. They would also be
very usable on motels, condominium
complexes, animal barns, schools,
restaurants, churches and other
buildings with air conditioning
demand.
Baker resides in the village
of Kronenwetter with his wife,
Cheri. His youngest daughter is
planning to attend UW-Platteville
in the fall, majoring in
environmental engineering.

Jamie Weber explains the significance of electricity by using an electric grid.
The many late nights University of
Wisconsin-Platteville alumnus Jamie Weber
spent studying with his fellow students
in Ottensman Hall were certainly worth
it according to the self-described power
engineer. Weber is now the director of
operations at PowerWorld Corporation in
Champaign, Ill., where he develops and
maintains simulator software and works
on new products for energy management
systems. He credits his current success
to UWP’s unique engineering program
and the attention and opportunities his
professors provided.
The 1995 graduate said he could have
gone to school anywhere after graduating
high school but found that UWP was the
perfect fit. “UWP was a great place to
transition into life away from home while
still being close to home. UWP had a
great engineering program and was a place
where I could learn a lot and really make a
difference.” Weber said.
Weber got involved in classroom projects
and other activities on campus like tutoring,
the Theta Tau engineering fraternity, golf
team and math modeling team. “At UWP, the
students were given opportunities to really
take on projects and responsibilities and run
with them,” Weber said.
According to Weber, UWP is unique
in that the primary concern and effort of
the faculty is to educate their undergraduate
students. A part of Weber’s undergraduate
engineering work at UWP was the extensive
integration of laboratory experiences
throughout the engineering curriculum.
“The hands-on nature of labs takes a lot
of faculty time but they were willing to put in
this effort,” Weber said. “Most of my fellow
students in graduate school did not have
nearly as much laboratory experience as I.”
According to Weber, the experience he
gained during his undergraduate years at
UWP prepared him for graduate school and
beyond. “I certainly learned a lot at UWP
and hope I made a difference as well,” said
Weber. Weber lives in Champaign, Ill., with
his wife, Amy; daughter, Kalah, 3; son Ian,
1; and two dogs, Harley and Xena.
Kinsman Achieves with flying colors
Ten years ago, Lisa (Belanger)
Kinsman graduated from the University
of Wisconsin-Platteville with a Bachelor
of Science degree in civil engineering. She
landed a job with Mead and Hunt, an
engineering firm specializing in planning,
design and construction management, right
after graduation and now works in their
aviation department as a civil engineer.
Kinsman attributes her current position
to hard work and determination during
college and her initial job search. While
at UWP, she worked with an engineering
company in Wausau, Wis., near her
hometown of Edgar, Wis., She says that
this experience helped her gain confidence
because she had some prior work in the
industry before graduating and applying for
full-time positions.
Getting involved with extra curricular
activities during her time at UWP helped
Kinsman network and meet other students
in her major. She was a member of the
Society of Women Engineers, the American
Society of Civil Engineers, Theta Tau
Engineering Fraternity and participated in
intramural basketball and volleyball.
“The close knit atmosphere at UWP
made it easy to develop relationships with
professors and other students,” Kinsman
said. “I made many contacts just from
getting to know the professors.”
Today, Kinsman can be found both
designing and overseeing the construction of
aviation projects.
She has completed airport projects at
Dane County Regional Airport, La Crosse
Municipal Airport and other airports across
the state and country. Last year, Kinsman
designed a runway intersection for the La
Crosse Municipal Airport to meet new
FAA safety requirements. Mead and Hunt
ended up receiving a 2008 Airport
Lisa Kinsman
Safety Award from the Federal Aviation
Administration Great Lakes Region because
of Kinsman’s work on the runway.
Kinsman especially enjoys seeing her
design get put into action by overseeing
the construction part of the project.
She drives down the runway to look for
cracks or markings in the pavement and
communicates with airport managers
and control tower workers to make sure
everything runs smoothly.
“I still do core civil engineering
work in my job but working in
aviation is a little different,” Kinsman
said. “I am applying all the things
I learned in my classes at
UWP and work experiences to
something unique.”
Last year, the Wisconsin
Airport Management Association
recognized Kinsman as the
2008 Engineer of the Year. In
addition, she was recognized by
the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation and the Wisconsin
Road Builder’s Association with the
2008 Resident Engineer Award for Excellence
in Commercial Service Airport Construction.
Kinsman feels if she had not taken the
initiative to look beyond the obvious during
her job search 10 years ago, she might not
have ended up where she is today. “My time
at UWP really gave me the knowledge I
needed for my future career and drove home
the value of hard work and determination,”
Kinsman said. “These attributes have been
very helpful to me professionally and have led
me to a rewarding career at Mead and Hunt.”
Lisa Kinsman inspires young women in the science, technology, engineering
and mathematics fields during her keynote address at the Durrant Women in
Engineering banquet. It was held on the UWP campus in April.

Alumnus presents at Criminal Justice Day
What’s it like being a
special agent in the FBI? Just
ask Kevin Theede, a 1977
graduate of the University of
Wisconsin-Platteville. Theede’s
official title is supervisory special
agent in the Weapons of Mass
Destruction Countermeasures Unit,
FBI headquarters.
Theede grew up on a farm near
Columbus and knew at a very young
age that he wanted to go into the
military and FBI. He first heard
about UWP through his guidance
counselor at Columbus High School. Theede
told her about his ambitions and she said,
“Well, UWP, they’ve got a police science
program.” “Police science?” Theede said,
“That’s gotta be cool.”
A trip was arranged where Theede
met the heads of both the criminal justice
and R.O.T.C. department. “I also found
out UWP had a Karate Club so it was just
perfect,” Theede said. He enrolled at UWP
in the fall of 1973 as a criminal justice major
and also participated in the ROTC program
where he later earned a three-year scholarship.
Wasting no time to get involved,
Theede began to seek outside opportunities
in the criminal justice field. He spent one
summer as a sheriff’s deputy in Marquette
County through a UWP work-study
program. He also completed an eight-week
internship with the police department in
Dubuque, Iowa.
Kevin Theede
Theede said the experiences he gained
during his time at UWP helped him to
understand and be more prepared for the
criminal justice field after graduation.
Upon graduating from UWP, Theede
was commissioned as a second lieutenant
in the United States Army. He continued
to serve over 12 years in the Army with
assignments in Explosive Ordnance Disposal,
Infantry and Special Forces. Theede was
awarded the Combat Infantry Badge and
Presidential Unit Citation for his service as
a military advisor during the civil war in
El Salvador. In 1990, Theede left the Army
after attaining the rank of major and entered
the FBI Academy. After graduation, he was
assigned to the Denver Division of FBI as
a special agent. In Denver, he worked with
violent crime matters such as bank robbery,
fugitive and gang/narcotics investigations
and also served as a member of the Denver
FBI SWAT team. During his duty with the
Denver SWAT team, he was deployed to the
stand-offs at Ruby Ridge, Idaho; Waco, Texas;
and the massacre at Columbine High School.
In 2001, Theede transferred to the
Milwaukee Division to fill a special agent
bomb technician vacancy. In that capacity,
he responded to New York City after 9/11
and Kandahar, Afghanistan, as part of
a joint improvised explosive device
defeat task force.
This past February, Theede
reported to FBI headquarters in
Washington D.C. He spoke
about his experiences to UWP
criminal justice students in
March at the CJ career day on
the UWP campus.
UWP Singing Pioneers to celebrate 85th reunion
The University of WisconsinPlatteville men’s choir, the Singing
Pioneers, conducted by Robert Demaree,
UWP professor of music, will celebrate
the 85th anniversary of their founding
this year. The event will be held on
Sunday, Nov. 15, in the Richard and
Helen Brodbeck Concert Hall located
in the Center for the Arts on the UWP
campus. The group will sing several of
24 Alumni Today
their favorite pieces. The time will be
announced at a later date.
Part of the reason for the reunion
is so current members can connect
with previous members. Aaron Athas,
president of the Singing Pioneers, said
that there is a real interest in learning the
history of the group and filling in the
missing pieces over the years.
Before the performance, a social will
be held for current and previous members,
and activities will be available for them
and their families.
The Singing Pioneers usually perform
twice each year on campus, and they also
travel to other schools.
Previous Singing Pioneers members
should contact Demaree at 608.342.1446
or [email protected] to register for
the pre-performance social.

In a recent issue of Alumni
Today there was a mention of
student IDs. To my recollection
we did not have them while I
was at Platteville from January
1957 to August 1960. However,
when looking for something else I
came across a receipt for summer
school handled by Carmen Beining in the Registrar’s Office for a
total of $53! It says to save so I have for 51 years.

AluMemories will be a new feature in the
Alumni Today. We’d like to hear your favorite
Pioneer memories. Do you have a favorite
memory of Chancellor Emeritus Markee or
the president/chancellor that was here when
you attended? If you have a great AluMemory,
contact Anne Killian in the UWP Office of
Public Relations at 608.342.1194 or killiana@
uwplatt.edu.
Check out what this alum had to say – it
might inspire you to share your own AluMemory!

In a recent issue of Alumni
Today there was a mention of
student IDs. To my recollection
we did not have them while I
was at Platteville from January
1957 to August 1960. However,
when looking for something else I
came across a receipt for summer
school handled by Carmen Beining in the Registrar’s Office for a
total of $53! It says to save so I have for 51 years.

Jeanne
BrunetteTregoning
(right) pictured
with Dr. John
Coryell (left).
Coryell and Tregoning
establish two scholarships
When University of WisconsinPlatteville alumna Jeanne BrunetteTregoning and her husband relocated to
Madison, Wis., they didn’t realize that they
would soon become fast friends with their
neighbor, Dr. John Coryell, or that he would
eventually fund a UWP scholarship in honor
of Brunette-Tregoning.
The Jeanne Brunette-Tregoning
Scholarship was established to assist
UWP students majoring in education
or agriculture. It consists of two separate
scholarships, one to be awarded to an
incoming female UWP freshman declaring
a major in the School of Education and the
other to be awarded to an incoming UWP
freshman planning to major in an agriculture
field. Dr. John L. Coryell of Madison is
funding the scholarship in honor of Jeanne
Brunette-Tregoning, a Green Bay, Wis.,
native who was an academic staff member
at UWP from 1986 to 1991. Dr. Coryell
and Tregoning developed a lasting friendship
when Tregoning moved to Madison with
her husband, Joe Tregoning, in 1991. Dr.
Coryell calls Tregoning an ideal candidate
for this honor because of Tregoning’s
dedication to education and her passionate
interests in agricultural leadership and
teaching young children to be proficient
in reading, comprehension, writing and
spelling.
“I believe that women have to be
pioneers,” said Tregoning. “Both agricultural
and educational fields are important because
they both can take women to many different
areas and give them numerous opportunities
for leadership.”
The value that Tregoning places on
education has even survived a car accident
that severed her spinal column and left her
confined to a wheelchair. Although her
body may be in a wheelchair, Tregoning says
her mind and spirit remain free, which has
allowed her to continue to accomplish things
many people believe she cannot.
Jeanne Brunette-Tregoning received her
bachelor’s degree in business education from
the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in
1965. She then attended UWP, where she
received her Master of Science in education
with an emphasis in reading in 1988. Since
then, Tregoning, as Dr. Coryell stated, “has
not stopped learning.”
Tregoning has been working with the
Wisconsin Department of Corrections since
1998, writing vocational and post-secondary
grants to allow inmates to continue their
education. She has been involved with
64 vocational programs that offer inmates
certificates and diplomas in fields such as
welding, automobile detailing and cabinet
making.
“I am amazed at what Jeanne has
accomplished,” said Dr. Coryell. “Living
next door to her has stimulated me into
doing a lot of things I would have never
thought of doing before. She always says,
‘You cannot relive one second of your life.’
We both know this scholarship will help
women achieve many things in their lives.”

’08-‘09 Phonathon raises funds for UWP
The 2008-09 Phonathon at the UWP
Foundation gives alumni and friends of
UWP an opportunity to reconnect
and give something back to the
university. The Phonathon
occurs for 11 weeks in
the fall semester and
11 weeks in the spring
semester.
“The UWP
Foundation Phonathon
is a good opportunity
for students who need
employment. Alumni
enjoy talking to the students,
especially students in their major.
It forms a connection between the
student and alum,” said Gina Udelhofen,
director of annual giving and donor
relations for the UWP Foundation.
Thirty-four students called thousands
of alumni and friends of UWP this past fall
’08 and spring ’09 who have made gifts in
the past. They also called other alumni to
inform them of the importance of giving
back to the university that helped them
get their start and to become firsttime donors. Students call Monday through
Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. Phonathon
is part of the UWP Foundation’s Annual
Giving Program and raises just under
$600,000 annually, which funds a variety
of necessary programs and projects, as well
as student scholarships. The amount raised
from annual giving has been increasing over
the past five years. The goal for the Annual
Giving Program, consisting of gifts $2,500
and below, is $1,250,000.
Last academic school year, specific areas
of need were addressed to the donors. Plans
for this coming year will include George
Chryst Locker Renovation, Boebel Hall
Renovation, BILSA Development Funds and
specific areas of need, EMS Development
Funds, US FIRST Fund, WI DOT
Scholarship, LAE Development Funds and
specific areas of need, Marching Band Fund,
Western Field Trip Booster Fund and UWPlatteville Community Scholarship Program.
Gifts can be made by check, credit
card and online. Anyone wanting more

Donor generosity grows UWP’s Community
Scholarship Program
Part of the University of WisconsinPlatteville Community Scholarship
Program’s long-term goal is to provide
scholarships for every student entering
UWP from each high school in the tri-state
area. Because of the program’s substantial
growth through donor generosity, it just
may become a reality. Over the past three
years, the program has gone from providing
scholarships at four high schools in its first
year, to providing 350 in its third.
“Despite the economic problems,
the CSP is still thriving and people are
investing in it,” said Dennis Cooley, assistant
chancellor for university advancement and
executive director of the UWP Foundation.
“Without these gifts, we won’t be able to
continue with recruitment efforts.”
The CSP is sponsored by the UWP
Foundation and is a cooperative effort
between tri-state area high schools and
the Foundation. The program works by
gathering donations that will be put into
scholarship funds for each high school to
support students planning to attend UWP.
The program has even expanded beyond the
tri-state area to include Minnesota.
Half of the donations raised (to a
particular high school fund) are put into an
endowment, leaving the remaining balance
available for scholarships. The endowments
ensure future scholarships as well as the
current ones.
“Scholarships help persuade students
to come to UWP,” said Gina Udelhofen,
director of annual giving and donor relations
at the UWP Foundation. “We want to
help as many students as we can as long as
we can.” That ties into the second part of
the CSP goal, which is to also eventually
provide scholarships to these students as they
continue their education at UWP.
Mary Simonson, a 1947 elementary
education alumna of UWP, who taught in
Lake Mills and other area schools for 40
years, said, “It’s very important to me to give
because it helps every one of those students
get their education.”
Approximately 32 to 35 UWP students
work during the 11-week-long Phonathon in
the fall and spring semesters to give alumni
and friends of UWP the opportunity to
support both their local high schools and
UWP with one gift.
Each student caller picks a high school,
sometimes the school they themselves
graduated from, and talks with parents,
alumni and people in the community.
During the call, they tell them how many
students are currently attending UWP from
their community, how much has been given
in gifts so far and the number of people
giving. People wishing to donate to the
program can donate to other schools as well.
The Phonathon was originally started
with 10 schools, and the UWP Foundation
found that people were interested in
supporting students who were coming from
other high schools to UWP as well.
Mark Dreikosen, a UWP senior
industrial engineering major, who graduated
in May, recognizes many of the names
of the people he contacts because he has
participated in the Phonathon for five years
now. “A lot of people who have donated in
the past look forward to our call because
they also get updates on what’s happening
on campus,” Dreikosen said. “That’s what
makes it fun. People have even sent me
family pictures of their kids.”
More people across the board are
donating this year overall. By the second
week of the spring Phonathon, almost
$60,000 in donations had been collected. In
fact, a donation of $1,000 was made from a
donor who had never given before.
“The program is such a win-win,”
Udelhofen said. “People support their
communities and they see the difference that
it makes.”

the sacrifices made by those before them with
the expectation that they “pay it forward” as
well. Perhaps that, my friends, is our greatest
legacy of all.

INtroducing ... Thanks a million!
A couple of years ago, former Assistant
Chancellor Emeritus Lloyd Linden put
forth an idea he had been thinking about
for some time, a way to raise funds for UWPlatteville that would be both meaningful to
the campus and a celebration for the many
UWP alumni and friends who have been
successful in their careers, their home lives
and in their service to the communities in
which they lived.
Linden’s idea was to invite 1,000
alumni and friends who could donate
$1,000 each, to total $1 million in support
for campus projects and activities. This
support would directly help our students,
faculty and staff during times when our state
support has dwindled and many important
components of student life have had to be
reduced substantially or eliminated.
Because the UWP Foundation was
in the midst of obtaining gifts for the new
engineering building, for Ullsvik Hall’s
remodeling, scholarships and a wide range
of other projects throughout campus,
the timing just wasn’t right for such an
undertaking.
However, during spring 2009,
Chancellor Markee and his Cabinet
considered the continued cuts in the
2009-11 biennial budget for the state of
Wisconsin and how it would affect the UW
System and UWP. There was a realization
that it would be necessary to implement
Linden’s unique idea – 1,000 x $1,000 – to
achieve several projects important to UWP
and to Chancellor Emeritus Markee.
“Thanks a Million” will provide
essential funding for a number of priority
projects, some of which require private
funding before they are allowed to be
implemented.
They include, but are not limited to:

Pioneer Academic Center for
Community Engagement

Williams Fieldhouse Phase II (pool)

Boebel Hall multi-phase renovation

Engineering Hall (equipment)

Ottensman Hall multi-phase
renovation

Nanotechnology Center for
Collaborative Research and
Development

Renewable Energy Center

Pioneer Farm (Beef Center)

Butch Leitl Field and Ralph E. Davis
Pioneer Stadium renovation
Other projects which could possibly
benefit from this funding include Pioneer
Gardens, the marching band, general
support for the arts, the industrial studies
100-year celebration, the Western Field Trip,
the Pioneer Museum and the Art Building
and many more initiatives.
Our “Thanks a Million!” initiative is
a way to raise funds for many worthwhile
projects while, at the same time, providing
a way for numerous alumni and friends of
UW-Platteville to show their appreciation
for the vision, leadership and optimism
provided by Chancellor Emeritus Markee
over the years as UWP is now positioned
for continued growth in its mission to serve
Southwest Wisconsin.
We realize there are many of you who
would love to take part in the “Thanks a
Million!” effort but cannot make a gift of
that size at the present time. Please know
we are appreciative of any and all gifts,
regardless of the amount, and you can be
a part of this project. We also know there
are already some individuals, groups or
corporate donors who plan to give in excess
of the $1,000 mark.

Service Award from Chancellor
Markee at the 2009 Donor Brunch.
One of Linden’s and the Markee’s
caveats for this effort was that the dollars
raised should not deviate from what
supporters already give to the university
because that support is critical to keeping so
many of our areas moving forward.
We look forward to sharing information
with you in the future about the “Thanks a
Million!” fundraising effort and we hope you
will be able to help us make Linden’s dream
a reality and honor Chancellor Emeritus
Markee as we move forward in a positive
direction.
Forever. Pioneers.

Dear Alumni and
Friends:
I’d like
to thank all
of our donors,
on behalf of the UWPlatteville Foundation,
for your extraordinary
support of the university
and its students this past year.
Through the generosity of the
many donors and friends listed
within the pages of this report,
your Foundation continued
to make great strides towards
supporting the many projects
as well as the students at the
university. These projects are
the building blocks that will
define and contribute to
the future of our university.
I am happy to report
that even though these are difficult
economic times, this past year
ranked among one of the best
fund-raising years in the UWP
Foundation’s history. During
the past year, we secured cash,
pledges and planned gift
commitments totaling more
than $10.3 million toward
the goals of our numerous
campaigns and to scholarships
for our students.
The success of the University
of Wisconsin-Platteville Foundation
can be attributed directly to our
Foundation staff as well as the
many outstanding board
members who share their
expertise, talents, wisdom,
time and resources with the
Foundation and the university.
They truly make a difference for
the Foundation and the entire
university.
Through the Foundation, the university
receives numerous gifts that have a significant
impact on students, faculty, academic
programs and the community. These gifts
not only contribute to the advancement
of the university and students today, but
continue to benefit the university and
students in perpetuity. Working with
our board, the Foundation staff, and the
university staff with whom we interact is
both a privilege and a pleasure.
Now more than ever, private funds
are essential as UWP enhances its core
disciplines, encourages experiential learning,
and puts its academic excellence to work
in solving problems faced by our state
and nation. Donor generosity keeps our
university strong and allows UWP to
branch out in many directions which are
relevant in today’s economy and the many
new technologies that will carry us into the
future.
On behalf of the many students who
benefit each year from the generosity of the
university’s alumni, faculty, staff, parents
and friends, it gives me great pleasure to
thank you and all of our donors. Your
contributions truly enable the University of
Wisconsin-Platteville to equip tomorrow’s
graduates with the education they expect and
deserve.
I personally have benefited greatly
from my education and experience at UWP,
and our generous donors must certainly
feel likewise. It is my dream that all of the
current and future students at UW-Platteville
will benefit from their experiences here, and
be supportive of the university in its future
undertakings.
Again, your donations are critical to
the success of this university, and I am truly
grateful for your support.
Sincerely,
Fred W. Jaeckle, ‘67

Letter from Director of Development
My second year has come and gone
and it has been a busy one for me as well as
the rest of the team here at the Foundation.
We have all been working on fund raising
for the new engineering building, Swine
Center, Beef Center, the Ottensman Hall
renovation, Engagement Center/PACCE
Program, Williams Fieldhouse, CSP Program,
Renewable Energy Program, Supply Chain
Program and many others.
As well as the fund raising for
these specific projects, I have been
busy working with our alumni and
dear friends of UWP establishing new
scholarships for our students. Some
of these scholarships are the Jeanne
Tregoning Scholarship, Rosemary
McNally Scholarship, Joyce Mueller
Scholarship (1), Jerry C. Kozar
Scholarship, Growmark Scholarship
and Christopher L. Splinter Scholarship,
to name just a few. While working on
these scholarships, I have learned
that UWP is definitely a place in
many hearts of our alumni. I want to
thank all of you who have
64 Alumni Today
established and contributed in any way to any
of our scholarships here at UWP. In today’s
economy, our students do need your support
in many ways. These scholarships and others
that have been established will provide our
students a way to pursue and further their
educational goals in the decades to come.
Last year we finished celebrating our
100 years of engineering and this year we
swung into high gear celebrating our 100
years in industrial studies. There have been
many activities taking place such as our
guest speakers which included an alumnus
from 1986, John J. Gallo (2), executive
vice president of business operations for
Rolls-Royce Corporation. We also had
Jerry Marty, an alumnus who graduated
in 1969 as guest speaker. Marty works for
the National Science Foundation Office of
Polar Programs in the division of Antarctic
Infrastructure and Logistics and is the
construction and maintenance manager.
Also, the first scholarship geared towards
women in industrial studies, called the Ruth
Harmon-Walraven Scholarship was given out
this past spring. The celebration of 100 years
of industrial studies will wrap up this fall at
our 2009 Homecoming. We will be featuring
many activities. We welcome everyone to
come back and visit our beautiful campus and
celebrate.
I am looking forward to another great
year here at UWP and want to thank all
of you who have supported the university.
Whether your support is through leaving
UWP in your will or estate plan, giving to
scholarships and development funds, giving
to building projects and namings, giving
gifts-in-kind, hosting events or just giving
your time to help with events, you are all
very important to the university and its
growth and mission to move forward in these
economic times. Every gift we receive makes
a difference. If you have any questions about
your support of UW-Platteville, please give
me a call at 608.342.1969.
Forever. Pioneers.

UWPF/Alumni event in The Villages, Fla.
Letter from Director of Development
The alumni and friends of UWPlatteville continue to amaze me as I meet
more and more. Through a variety of
meetings and events I have met hundreds of
alumni during my three years at the UWP
Foundation.
This past year I made return trips to
areas around the state and country (1).
It was great to see so many people I met
last year as well as the new faces that came
to alumni events (2) or met with me
individually. I will continue traveling to
these places and hope to connect with even
more alumni. I enjoy introducing one UWP
grad to another especially when they live in
the same city and don’t know it. When these
people keep in contact after the event, it is
very fulfilling.
I attended several reunions this past
year. Three such reunions brought former
athletes back to campus to be with their
teams again (3). The camaraderie was
contagious, and I am sure those that attended
were glad they did.
My job responsibilities expanded this
year and include leading a new program.
Team 341
is a collaboration of the efforts of the UWPF,
Alumni Office and Prospective Student
Services. I worked with a leadership team to
set goals for the program and helped manage
five people working in the program. It was
a great experience working with another
part of the university, and I am hopeful this
program will be one way UWP can work
smarter and more efficiently in the future.
My fundraising tasks grew to include
development work for the College of
Engineering, Mathematics and Science.
With the history and success of engineering
at Platteville, I am sincerely looking forward
to working with more alumni and friends in
these disciplines.
UWP had two key events occur related
to athletics fund raising. In January, we
unveiled the donor recognition wall for
the Bo Ryan Court project (4). This
“wall” was even more than I envisioned
and includes a new trophy case for the
national championship trophies as well as
an interactive display that allows visitors to
learn more about Coach Ryan, his UWP
teams and UWP athletics. Visitors can
watch video clips and find a list of upcoming
campus events. The second key event was
the groundbreaking (5) for Phase I of the
Williams Fieldhouse and Pioneer Activity
Center addition. This was an exciting day
for me because I have been working on this
project since I first started with the UWPF.
It is rewarding to see the construction
phase begin. The completion is slated
for next summer, and I can only
imagine how great it will be at the
ribbon cutting.
The list of fundraising projects at
UWP continues to grow, but each new
project brings a new opportunity. One
thing I have learned during my time
at the UWPF is how willing UWP
alumni and friends are to help,
whether it be as a financial supporter,
as an advisor, as a volunteer or as a
friend willing to spread good news.
This truly makes my job a pleasure.
Forever. Pioneers.

As I look back, it is hard for me to
believe that I have been working with the
UWP Foundation for over a year. However,
you know what they say: time flies when
you’re having fun!
Throughout last year I worked with
the UW-Platteville Community Scholarship
Program for the following high schools:
Riverdale, Highland, Iowa-Grant, Barneveld,
Dodgeville, Mineral Point, Belmont,
Mount Horeb, Richland Center and Ithaca.
Along with raising funds for the CSP I
had the opportunity to set up several new
scholarships, including one with Sloan
Implement (1).
This year a new program called Team
341 was kicked off. This program combined
the efforts of the Alumni, Foundation and
Prospective Student Services offices. This
gave me the opportunity to meet with
alums and area high school students
in Holmen, La Crosse, Onalaska and
West Salem.

I also worked with Calf-Tel from
Germantown on the company’s generous giftin-kind donation of 20 calf pen systems to
Pioneer Farm.
For the next year, I look forward to
continuing my work with the previously
mentioned communities for CSP as well as
working on projects to raise funds for the
Pioneer Farm Beef, Dairy and Swine

66 Alumni Today
I have been working at the UWP
Foundation since September 2008, and
I have really enjoyed my time meeting
and working with Pioneers! I have been
working to promote and fund raise for the
UW-Platteville Community Scholarship
Program in many communities around
the state, including some in Grant
County, Dane County, Sheboygan
County (1) and Manitowoc County. I
have met many wonderful UWP alumni
in these areas, many of whom have
generously contributed to scholarships for
students from their communities.
I have also had the opportunity to
begin working in the College of Liberal
Arts and Education, and I look forward to
being involved with projects in these areas.
This upcoming year I will be working to
raise funds for the Western Field Trip, the
physical education and health department,
and the Center for the Arts – Heartland
Festival.
It is always exciting to see what
doors UW-Platteville has opened for its
alumni, and I’ve met many Pioneers with
very interesting stories and memories
of UWP! Thank you for your
continued support of this
great university.
Forever. Pioneers.

Letter from Director of Development
Tough economic times facilitate looking
for funding opportunities in different places.
With the federal government pumping
billions of dollars into the federal agencies
to stimulate the economy, my work at the
UWP Foundation has shifted to trying to
capture some of that funding. UWP has
great faculty conducting worthy projects and
cutting-edge research, but we haven’t tapped
into the federal granting agencies like we
could. With over 15 years of grant writing
experience, I’m helping the faculty and
administration work on projects and write
proposals that could fund building projects
that are on hold due to state budget cuts,
could support research that can address the
challenges of the 21st century, could secure
equipment and instrumentation to facilitate
research and training, and could provide
resources to broaden student learning and
experience in and beyond the classroom.
The possibilities are endless in these times.
We appreciate the grants we have
received such as the Kresge Foundation for
the new engineering building; the John
Deere Foundation for scholarships for
minority or woman in engineering and
more; the Alliant Energy Foundation (1)
for Community Leadership Alliance, for US
FIRST Robotics, and for scholarships; the
Kern Family Foundation for Project Lead
the Way faculty training; the US Bancorp
Foundation for Paths to Platteville minority
recruiting; the Woodward Foundation
for endowing scholarships; and other
foundations for many projects. In addition,
we received a $10,000 grant for computers
in the Graphic Arts Lab from the Dubuque
Racing Association (2). In a time when
state cuts are deeper, UWP has been able
to demonstrate our need for funding and
our capacity to honor the agreements. We
appreciate these foundations and their
purpose to make the world a better place.
Times are tough, but Pioneers are
persistent. We leave no rock unturned in
our pursuit to provide the best education
for our students. Many thanks to the
individuals, businesses and foundations with
whom I work to achieve our goals and go for
the next dream.
Forever. Pioneers.

Letter from Junior Development Officer

I started with the UWP Foundation in September. This has been
a great opportunity for me to work with the UWP community. I have
primarily been working with the UW-Platteville Community Scholarship
Program and student recruitment. My territories included Dane, Dodge,
Green, Lafayette, Jefferson and Winnebago counties. I’ve also started
working in the Milwaukee and Northern Illinois areas with the CSP.
Through my travels I’ve met many great UWP alumni and friends. This
spring I started to work with Student Affairs and Pioneer Athletics (1)
on some of their fund-raising projects. One of these projects was raising
money for the men’s and women’s soccer teams to purchase covered benches.
I’ve really enjoyed my time at UWP. Forever. Pioneers.

Hello UWP Alumni and Friends:
I’m
enjoying my
fifth year at UWP and am
excited for the new roles I have taken on
in the Foundation. I am continuing with
the position of university support associate
for University Advancement but focusing on
some new tasks. My added responsibilities
include working at retiree socials, assisting
the Foundation with events, holding
meet and greet sessions with alumni and
establishing Foundation and donor relations.
Another new duty I am taking on
is advancing stewardship within the
UWP Foundation. At our recent donor
recognition brunch, we looked at the
exponential changes occurring throughout
UWP and credit this growth to stewardship
— to our supporters. With cutting-edge
technology, regionally unique facilities, new
buildings, innovative teaching approaches
and projects still to come, UWP is truly a
pioneer for advancement.
One way our alumni and friends can
help UWP continue this advancement
is by supporting the idea of stewardship.

Larissa Larsen earned degrees in

shares story with UWP
On April 1, retired New York fire chief
and UWP’s distinguished lecturer, Richard
Picciotto, shared his story of what happened
to him on Sept. 11, 2001. Picciotto is the
highest-ranking firefighter to survive the
attack on the World Trade Center.
When Picciotto found out that a plane
hit the South Tower of the World Trade
Center on the morning of 9/11, he called the
dispatcher and told him he was on his way
Picciotto needed to be there.
Picciotto arrived at the
North Tower right before the
second plane hit. He was told to take a
battalion and get to the 20th and 23rd floors
of the North Tower to save trapped people.
Upon reaching those floors, he found they’d
already been cleared, so he made his way up
the floors to save others who may be trapped
or injured.
Picciotto and his battalion continued to
the 35th floor. Upon arrival the group froze.
“The building started shaking. We heard
a loud noise above us and we stopped, staring
at the ceiling. The noise and the shaking
came around us, went below us and then it
stopped,” said Picciotto.
The group had heard and felt the South
Tower collapse. When Picciotto realized this,
he worked quickly to get his battalion and as
many remaining people as he could, out of the
building.
Picciotto and his battalion made their
way down, checking each floor to make sure
everyone was out. They eventually
reached the sixth floor. He
thought to himself, in just a
few minutes, we’ll all be
out of here. But then the
violent shaking and noise
started again.
The group was trapped
in an air pocket of the now
collapsed North Tower. Hours later, as the
dust settled and the wind shifted, Picciotto
cleared an opening and climbed out with
10 other firefighters, a police officer and a
civilian.
He has since written the New York Times
best selling book “Last Man Down,”
which commemorates the 343 firefighters
and 3,000 civilians who lost their lives.
Do you know what the UWP museum houses that is the only one in North America? Artifacts and collections from the Isle of Man.

UWP honors distinguished service awardees
Roman and Joan Borkovec
Four individuals were recently honored
with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville
Foundation Distinguished Service Award:
Roman and Joan Borkovec, Lloyd Linden
and Linda Pauls Fleming. Established in
1986, this award recognizes individuals,
families, businesses and corporations who
have significantly served UWP and its
mission. Recipients of this award have
enhanced UWP’s reputation by substantially
contributing time and/or gifts for its benefit
or have influenced others to develop a
similar relationship with the university.
Roman and Joan Borkovec
have devoted time and support
to UWP since their graduation in
1956. Roman served on the UWP
Foundation board until he and
Joan moved to Arizona. They have
established four scholarships for UWP
students — two for education majors
and two for agriculture majors. These
were the majors closest to Roman and
Joan’s hearts, as Roman majored in
agriculture and Joan in education.
The Borkovecs have also
supported the UW-Platteville
Community Scholarship Program,
giving annually since the start of
70 Alumni Today
Lloyd Linden
the program. Roman and Joan are always
advocating for UWP, encouraging graduatebound family members and friends to
attend. “We continue to support UWP
because of the people,” said Roman. “The
staff are friendly and highly trained. They
love their students, and their enthusiasm
spreads throughout the university.”
They have always supported the idea
of “paying it forward” (even before the film
came out, said Roman). When Roman was
a student at UWP, he had a classmate who
was forced to quit school because he didn’t
have enough tuition money to continue.
Roman loaned his classmate enough money
to finish his UWP education and refused to
be reimbursed. He told the classmate to give
that tuition money to another student in
need and Roman’s idea of paying it forward
grew from there.
The Borkovecs now reside in Sun
Lakes, Ariz., and have been married 53
years. Roman enjoys golfing, volunteering
at the Veterans Affairs Hospital and the
Neighbors Who Care program. Joan is
involved with the Red Hat Society and
enjoys crafting. Both Roman and Joan have
traveled throughout the United States and
abroad.
Linda Pauls Fleming
Linda Pauls Fleming is a 1973
graduate of UWP and has been a long-time
proud Pioneer, attending Homecoming,
commencement and other campus events.
Since 1999, Fleming has served on the UWP
Foundation Board of Directors, furthering
her connection with UWP.
Having graduated from UWP with a
degree in accounting, Fleming went on to
earn her master’s in business administration
from Edgewood College, as well as become
a certified public accountant and a certified
cash manager. She now has more than
30 years of accounting and financial
management experience. Presently, Fleming
is the chief financial officer, secretary and
treasurer at EraGen Biosciences Inc., in
Madison, Wis.
During her years at UWP, Fleming
was active on campus, participating in the
Gamma Phi Beta sorority, which she credits
for helping to build her leadership and
organizational skills. She said it allowed
her to participate in diverse activities and
brought about long-lasting friendships.
Fleming is also appreciative of the
solid faculty that were so supportive and
encouraging.
She said, “You knew your professors,
and the professors knew you.” Fleming has recently endowed a
scholarship to assist UWP students studying
accounting and/or agriculture.
The Linda Pauls Fleming Scholarship
in Accounting or Agriculture is administered
by the UWP Foundation. It was initiated
“in appreciation for her education and
in memory of her beloved mother, Doris
Reinke, and her aunt, Dora Brooks, who was
committed to the field of agriculture.”
She now resides in Madison, Wis.,
with her husband, Tom Fleming, where she
volunteers with Project Bootstrap, a teenager
mentoring program, and with the Madison
Respite Center.
When Lloyd Linden first came to UWP,
it was for only one semester. He continued
his education at UW-Madison where he
received a BS in sociology and later a MS in
social work. When Linden came to UWP
for the second time, it was for 31 years,
serving as director of housing, the dean of
students and later the assistant chancellor for
Student Affairs.
Linden has continued to stay involved,
giving back to UWP by serving on the
Foundation board. He attributes his
involvement to the people of UWP, both
the students and faculty. “The students are
serious about what they are doing,” Linden
said. “They work hard and don’t expect
things to just get handed to them.” Linden
added that he has heard similar comments
from employers who hire UWP graduates.
Linden also likes the hands-on learning
environment UWP promotes and new
programs and initiatives that have occurred
in the past 13 years under Chancellor
Markee.
“I am honored to receive the
distinguished service award,” said Linden,
“but know there are many other individuals
who would be worthy of receiving it with
me.”
Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award was established in 1986
and recognizes individuals, families, businesses and/or corporations who
have significantly served UW-Platteville and its mission by enhancing
its reputation and influence or by substantially contributing time and/
or gifts for its benefit or by influencing others to develop a similar
relationship with the university.

Do you know if you want to support UW-Platteville but put “University
of Wisconsin” in your will or planned giving documents instead of
“University of Wisconsin-Platteville Foundation,” the funds will probably
be sent to the UW System, instead of held by the UWP Foundation.

Gail Harvey Kempfer
Gail Harvey Kempfer contracted polio
at the end of second grade, which resulted
in the use of leg braces and crutches for
many years. Undeterred, Kempfer completed
her schooling, graduated from De Forest
High School in 1960 and enrolled at the
University of Wisconsin-Platteville. This was
long before the Americans with Disabilities
Act and accommodations for students
with disabilities. Kempfer found a helpful
student body and campus community, which
provided support and assistance. She earned
her UWP degree in education in 1964.
Kempfer was hired as the middle
school librarian at Patrick Marsh Middle
School in Sun Prairie, Wis. She enhanced
her professional development by attending
UW-Madison to earn the credits necessary
to get a Wisconsin DPI library media
specialist’s license. Kempfer made the library
a welcoming place for the children it served.
One of her greatest accomplishments was
designing the library media center for the
Patrick Marsh Middle School. In recognition
of her outstanding work as an educator,
Kempfer was awarded a 2001 Crystal Apple
Award. She served the Sun Prairie School
District for 41 years, retiring in 2005.
In the late 1990s, Kempfer began to
develop post-polio syndrome. Her new
challenges led to her working with others
to co-found the Madison Area Post Polio
Support Group. MAPPSG is an organization
for polio survivors, spouses, family
members and friends with a mission of
building relationships, sharing polio related
information, and gaining new knowledge
about the disease and syndrome.
Kempfer is active in her community.
She is a church moderator and board
member and has taught Sunday school for
30 years. Additionally, Kempfer has been
a 4-H leader and a guide at the state of
Wisconsin Executive Residence.
Residing in De Forest, Wis., Kempfer
