ROTC gets new room

at UW-Superior
Air Force ROTC cadets and faculty member Capt.
Eric Fraser show off the new ROTC room on the first
floor of Old Main. While the ROTC program
remains based at UM-Duluth, the room in Old Main
provides ROTC with work space and an office for
recruiting on campus.
From left are UW-Superior cadets Nathan Goetsch,
a senior from Maple Grove, Minn.; Ryan LeBard, a
freshman from Superior; Lucas LaGesse, a senior from
Lakeside, Wis.; Devin Dickey, a freshman from
Columbia, Tenn.; and Capt. Fraser, unit admissions
officer. Lucas graduated in December and Nathan
graduates in May. Both will undergo training and are
expecting to serve in communications.

Dwyer helping to create Sri Lankan program
Judy Dwyer, associate professor of social work, is spending the first part of
2007 in Sri Lanka helping to develop that country’s first university training
program for social workers.
Dwyer is collaborating with faculty at the University of Kelaniya in Colombo
in determining what Sri Lankan social workers should be taught, setting up a
curriculum and planning courses. Her work is assisted by Rotary International,
which awarded her a Rotary Grant for University Teachers.
“It’s important to me to do this because we at UW-Superior have become so
connected with Sri Lanka through the large number of students who have
enrolled here and taught us about their homeland,” she said. “They’re active on
campus and contribute to our community. So I think it’s important we give
back to that country for what it has given to us in Superior.”
Stevlingson performs in Paris
Last fall Dr. Norma Stevlingson of the Music Department was invited to
Paris to take part in an international celebration of the 80th birthday of
acclaimed concert organist Marie Claire Alain. Stevlingson was one of the
performers on the two organ recitals that were presented as part of the
festivities.
Since the time she was Alain’s first full-time American student, Stevlingson
has worked closely with her in research, presentation and publication of various
studies on the music of Alain’s brother, composer Jehan Alain.
UW-Superior signs pact with Japanese university
Officials of UW-Superior and Ibaraki University in Japan have formally
agreed to promote exchanges of faculty, students and research information
between their institutions.
“Our hope is that this relationship continues, with great opportunities for
faculty to work together in their research interests as well as opportunities for
Japanese students to come to Superior and our students to go to Japan,”
Chancellor Julius Erlenbach said.
Students volunteer to tutor at high school
In another example of collaboration between UW-Superior and the Superior
public schools, 15 university students volunteered for a new tutoring program at
Superior High School.
Last fall the students began working one to three hours a week with
individual or small groups of high school students. The university students
receive no pay or course credit.
“They’re doing it to better their community; to give back to their
community,” said Carlene “Miki” Henderson, the UW-Superior instructor who
oversees the volunteers.

 U W-Superior conducted its first Winter
Commencement on Dec. 9, 2006, to honor students
graduating at the end of the summer and fall semesters.
Previously, those graduates could attend the traditional
ceremony in May, but because of the growing number
of mid-year graduates, university leaders decided a
December ceremony was most appropriate to recognize
the graduates’ accomplishments.
The ceremony was held in Old Main’s Thorpe
Langley Auditorium – the first Commencement to be
held there in decades. Older Superior graduates will
remember receiving their diplomas in the auditorium,
but the spring ceremony was moved to Wessman Arena
after its completion to accommodate the growing
number of the university’s students and their guests.

time in decades. Left, graduate students watch

cross the stage for their diplomas. Far left,
smiles were plentiful as graduates received
their diplomas.

UW-Superior adds two new traditions for the campus and community

S tudents, faculty and staff welcomed the community to

campus for the first Winterfest held Dec. 7, 2006.
Hundreds of adults and children gathered in the Health &
Wellness Center to hear campus and community choirs,
enjoy games and refreshments, frost cookies, make
ornaments, roast s’mores, chat with Santa Claus and much
more. Many local businesses joined in by contributing
equipment, supplies or merchandise for the event.

 Annual giving plays a critical role in supporting students
he Annual Superior Fund is the
T jack-of-all-trades at UW-Superior. It
can handle just about any job you ask it to
do.
Attract top students to campus? Yes.
Keep students in school when they’re hit
by a financial emergency? Sure.
Help professors stay at the top of their
game by supporting their academic work?
You bet.
Solve unexpected problems? Seize
unexpected opportunities? Bring ’em on.
The list goes on and on, but you get the
idea. The Annual Superior Fund plays a
vital role every year in getting students to
campus and providing them with
opportunities to earn a quality education.
Each year thousands of alumni and
friends of the university make unrestricted
gifts to Campaign Superior: Higher
Expectations that go into the Annual
Superior Fund. Unrestricted gifts –
donations not earmarked for a specific fund
or project – are carefully and thoughtfully
used in many ways to help students and
support the university.
“The

“It provides
the flexibility to meet unforeseen
opportunities for students and faculty.”
One of the goals of Campaign Superior is
to raise $1 million a year in gifts to the
Annual Superior Fund. Increasing alumni
giving through gifts of all sizes is critical to
meeting this goal.
“Our goal is to increase alumni giving
from its current 7 percent to 20 percent
during Campaign Superior. If each alumnus
were to make a gift, it would significantly
impact our ability to support students,” she
said.
The Annual Superior Fund does so many
different jobs that it’s difficult to list them
all. Consider just a few examples:

students to campus.

The Annual Superior Fund
One of the goals of Campaign Superior:
Higher Expectations is to support the
Annual Superior Fund so it can provide
vital student scholarships, services and
support for academic programs.
This goal is made up of two parts.
First, increase the amount of annual giving to $1
million by 2012. Unrestricted annual giving is the
cornerstone of all donor support because it enables the
university to pursue the most fundamental business of
educating students. These funds have been used to
support student research, faculty development and
much-needed teaching equipment.
Second, the Campaign seeks to raise an additional
$1.5 million in endowment, restricted and estate gifts.
These gifts become a lasting legacy for the donors,
securing the university’s endowment in the face of a
predictable future of reduced state funding. Bequests
and other estate gifts provide significant support for
general or specific university uses.

who need financial support.
UW-Superior’s Baccalaureate
Completion Project looks for people who
left the university before earning their
diplomas and helps those interested return
to school to finish their degree. The goal is
to help people gain the financial benefits of
a university degree while bolstering
Wisconsin’s workforce. The Annual
Superior Fund is providing scholarships for
these returning students who need financial
assistance.
• Helps students overcome financial
emergencies.
“We’ve been able to use unrestricted
funds to assist students in various ways,”
Schoer said. “They’ve made a difference in
enabling us to keep students in school when
they encounter financial emergencies.”

to explore, travel and learn.

The Annual Superior Fund is supported
by the hundreds of people who each year
make unrestricted gifts to Campaign
Superior. They’re the ones who enable this
jack-of-all-trades to play such a big role in
the lives of students.
“The Campaign depends on a large
number of people making small
contributions,” Schoer said. “Those gifts of
$25 to $1,000 have great impact on
Campaign Superior’s success.”
And that success will have a great impact
on students like Megan McDonough, an
exercise science major from Brule, Wis.,
who received a Chancellor’s Award to
attend UW-Superior. When asked what she
would say to people who contribute to
Campaign Superior, she didn’t hesitate: “I’d

And they got their start at UW-Superior in Dr.
Ed Burkett’s Caribbean Coral Reef Studies

Over the past 15 years, Burkett, a professor in
the Biology and Earth Sciences Department, has
used his Caribbean Coral Reef Studies program to
provide a hands-on research course for about 250
students and a graduate-level research experience
to more than 50 undergraduate students. The
experience has set many of the students on career
paths in science, and helped them all gain a better
understanding of the world, science and research.
“This can make a difference in a student’s life,”
Burkett said.

he and his wife Pauline are
repaying that kindness
by establishing a
scholarship to support
future students
M ore than 50 years after graduating from
Wisconsin State College Superior, the Rev. Dr.
Robert Koenig still remembers the interest that
college President Jim Dan Hill showed in his
progress.
“He once said to me that the hardest degree to heartfelt sympathy
get is the first one. I think that’s really true,” of myself but of
Koenig said. “I got my first degree at Superior
with honors. That’s not bad for a poor boy
working his way through school.”
“Superior really has a place in my heart and
always will,” he added. “I love Superior and I
owe Superior. Now it’s my time to repay and to
invest in others.”
To make that investment in others, Koenig
and his wife Pauline recently established The
Reverend Dr. Robert A. and Mrs. Pauline L.
Olson-Koenig Scholarship at UW-Superior. The
scholarship will be awarded each year to a
student of merit majoring in music or history.

In Superior, he rented a

Occasionally he’d splurge by spending 55 cents
for a hamburger, french fries and a Coke at
Cronstrom’s, across Belknap Street from the
Douglas County Courthouse. “That’s still my
favorite meal,” he said fondly.
Koenig majored in history and music. A badly

 The UW-Superior Foundation
Our mission is to vigorously promote and contribute to the
continuing success of the University of Wisconsin-Superior.
Campaign Superior: Higher Expectations takes us one
important step further. It puts the goals of the University
first and aligns fund-raising activities to match those goals.
Our fund-raising goals for Campaign Superior represent
investment in the infrastructure, programs and people
needed to propel UW-Superior to its envisioned role as the
leading public arts institution. For more information, check
out our website at www.uwsuper.edu/campaignsuperior.
Friends,
In 2004 the University of Wisconsin-Superior launched
Campaign Superior: Higher Expectations as part of our
commitment to ensure that Wisconsin’s Leading Public
Liberal Arts College offers a challenging, high-quality
education to its students. By working together as faculty,
staff, students, alumni and friends, we are moving steadily
toward meeting the higher expectations we set for ourselves.
Friends and alumni so far have invested more than $12
million in the future of their university through their gifts to
Julius E. Erlenbach, Ph.D.
Campaign Superior. As we approach our goal of raising $17.5
Chancellor
million by 2009, we also approach the beginning of
construction of a state-of-the-art academic building, renovation of Jim Dan Hill Library,
and reconstruction of Rothwell Student Center. In addition, we are positioning the
university to offer scholarships and active learning opportunities to more students.

Annual Giving Clubs
A nnual gifts are the basis upon which the UW-Superior
Foundation supports the mission of the University, and can
accomplish the goals of Campaign Superior. Giving by individuals
and organizations provides students with scholarships, campus and
curriculum enhancements, and community involvement
opportunities. Thanks to all of our donors, we are well on our way
to becoming Wisconsin’s leading public liberal arts college. The
annual giving section includes all club listings of donors to the
University of Wisconsin-Superior Foundation, Inc. from the
beginning of our fiscal year in July, 2005 through
December 31, 2006.
Of course, we continue to face challenges. Foremost among them, the erosion of state
financial support for public universities means higher tuition for students and fewer
resources for our campus.
Nonetheless, our faculty, staff and students continue to strive to make UW-Superior an
invaluable asset to our community and to northern Wisconsin. Our Legal Studies
program has been recognized for assisting Douglas County residents using the courts.
Our Lake Superior Research Institute is conducting environmental research throughout
our region and on the Great Lakes. Our Transportation and Logistics Research Center is
working on studies important to the region’s economy. Through course offerings and
study abroad programs, UW-Superior is the only school in the Twin Ports area that
enables students to focus their education on the emerging giant of East Asia. Our new
Cal and Gerry Kessler Exercise Physiology Lab offers a graduate-level experience to
undergraduate students.

The University of Wisconsin-Superior Investing in education requires wisdom. A great society must be wise enough to set aside
money for learning today so that we, our children and our grandchildren can benefit from

its effects in the decades to come. This annual report lists the many alumni, friends,
faculty and staff of UW-Superior who have demonstrated that wisdom by supporting

Chapters added for Fox Valley, Alumni Association presents awards

Student Government alumni
Superior alumni have formed a new regional alumni chapter for
Wisconsin’s Fox Valley and a chapter for everyone who was involved in
student government.
The Fox Valley Chapter was established after holding its first alumni
event in Oshkosh on Nov. 1. The chapter covers Winnebago, Fond du
Lac, Calumet, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan counties. Chapter contact
Peggy Wiechert,’76, can be reached at pwiecher@affinityhealth.org.
The purpose of the Student Government Chapter is to reconnect
former student government participants to UW-Superior through the
Alumni Association or UW-Superior Foundation.
Charter members of the chapter include Dave Anderson, Malone, Wis.;
Tim Hansen, Rochester, Minn.; Stephanie Hilton, Madison, Wis.; Joe
“Doc” Slattery, Onalaska, Wis.; Frank Young, Rio Rancho, N.M.; and Ted
Wuebben, Thunder Bay, Ontario. Anyone interested in participating in
the chapter should contact Dave Anderson at anderdg@aol.com or
Stephanie Hilton at stephers32@hotmail.com.
to Emile Mathis and Gary Banker
The UW-Superior Alumni Association last fall presented its
Distinguished Alumnus Award to Emile Mathis and presented Gary
Banker with the first Emeritus Award for his long service to alumni.
Mathis, Class of ’68, is a recognized art expert, gallery owner and art
dealer in Racine, Wis. Each fall since 1998 he has brought a major art
exhibit to Kruk Gallery for public viewing and the education of art
students. He also has made repeated donations of art to be sold at the
Alumni Association’s silent auction held during the annual Chancellor’s
Ball.
The Alumni Association created the Emeritus Award to recognize
association board members who have made noteworthy contributions to
the organization.
Banker, Class of ’74, was presented the award to recognize the more
than 30 years he has served on the board. Banker is the immediate past
president of the organization. He and his wife Carol, also a UW-Superior
alumna, chaired the association’s Chancellor’s Ball for many years.

the way
R enee Reijo enrolled at UW-Superior to
study business, but a course in human
genetics prompted a change in her major –
and her life.
Today, Dr. Renee Reijo Pera is an associate
professor of obstetrics, gynecology and
reproductive sciences; physiology; and
urology at the University of California, San
Francisco. She also is co-director of the
university’s Program in Human Embryonic
Stem Cell Biology, and is considered a leader
in research into infertility.
In its Sept. 25, 2006, issue, Newsweek
magazine named Reijo Pera one of 20
women “poised to be the next generation of
leaders in their fields” and published her
essay about how she reached her present
position and where she hopes to go next.

All three women are included in a group of

that I truly believe in education,” she said in a
telephone interview, noting that only four
students were in her advanced organic chemistry
class there.
“It was small and personal; a really special
place,” she said, especially in comparison to the
University of California, San Francisco, and UC,
Berkeley, where 2,000 students can pack biology
classes.
After earning a biology degree at UW-
Superior, Reijo Pera earned her master’s and
doctorate degrees in science-related fields at other
universities, completing her education with a
fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute for
Technology. A stem-cell
biologist and a human
geneticist, she is

reproduction.
“The fact that a
sperm and an egg can
combine and make an
embryo, and that
embryo can go on to
make a fetus and a child, I’ve never really heard
of anything more remarkable than that,” she said.
She is also concerned with problems of
infertility. In her essay, Reijo Pera wrote about her
experience with ovarian cancer, rendering her
unable to have a child. She and her husband are

Karen Johnson, a former Superior police
officer and Reijo Pera’s sister, initially did not
know about the magazine article. That’s how
modest her sister is, she said. Johnson found out
through relatives about her exposure in the
national news magazine.
“I know she’s famous in her world, but I never
hear about it,” she said. “She’s just very humble
... We’re very proud of her.”
Being a female researcher with tenure – which
Reijo Pera has – is rare, she said, especially in the
field of stem cell research.
She credits her family with helping her
become an achiever, blessing her with born-
intelligence and instilling her with an aversion to
failure.
“I kept going further and further, because to
stop would say I had given up,” she said, adding
that personal factors such as not having children
allowed her to work longer hours.
A critical time in her career occurred at MIT.
“It’s one of the top universities in the world,
and there are incredibly smart people and I got a
sense that I belonged there,” she said.
Darol Kaufmann, a retired UW-Superior
biology professor, proved to be an inspiration.
She was an outstanding student, he said, and
recounted a story about a visit to Kansas State
University, his alma mater, where she was a
graduate student.
A professor told Kaufmann how pleased he
was that Reijo Pera was at the university because
she had devised a technique to uncover
information her biology program was seeking.
“They were so happy because she had enough
initiative and knowledge to do this as a grad
student,” he said.
Reijo Pera has received hundreds of e-mails
and phone calls in reaction to her essay, many
from women inspired to further educate
themselves.
“It’s a complete honor,” she said, “and
completely surprising.”
