2 2016–17 CARROLL UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP CATALOG

Carroll University is blessed to have a generous network of friends who believe in the value of a Carroll education, and chose to make investments to help students who have a passion

for learning. Funding for our scholarships comes from our loyal alumni base, our board of trustees, our dedicated faculty and staff, our corporate partners in the community and other friends of Carroll.

The importance of scholarships and financial aid cannot be overstated. More than 98 percent of current students at Carroll receive some type of financial assistance. Scholarships can make the difference not only in whether a student attends college, but also whether that student remains. This listing shares the stories of the people behind the scholarships, and their affinity for Carroll. Many of these scholarships are established as endowed funds, providing a permanent income stream for annual scholarships which carry on the name of the donor and create a personal legacy.

As you read through this catalog, you will come to realize we are connected. There is a common thread that binds each one of us to one another. From generations past to today, the people of Carroll—the stories we share, the memories we hold, and the education gained—is what keeps the spirit of Carroll alive. We celebrate the generosity and the legacy these individuals have made in helping advance Carroll’s mission of preparing students for lives of meaning, purpose and success.

Doug & Nancy Hastad Endowed Scholarship FundEstablished by President Douglas N. & Nancy J. Hastad in 2015.

Doug and Nancy Hastad completed their undergraduate education at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. in ’71 and ’72, respectively. Upon graduation they began their careers in education. Doug was a teacher in the Moorhead Public Schools and Nancy was a residence hall director at Concordia. Since that beginning, education has always been an integral part of their professional lives. From their point of view, investing in a Carroll scholarship that benefits future teachers was a simple decision. Concordia is a private institution that is similar to Carroll in so many ways, including the cost of tuition. Doug and Nancy remember their student loans which took a number of years to pay off. While the value of the degree paid dividends many times over, the idea of being able to assist a Carroll student with financial support was very appealing.

They feel blessed to be at Carroll and view it as an appropriate place to conclude their journey in education. President Hastad began his tenure at Carroll in 2006 serving as Carroll’s 14th President and will retire in 2017. This scholarship gives preference to those students majoring in education. The Hastads find it is reassuring and appropriate to have created a scholarship that will continue to benefit Carroll students in perpetuity.

They began their own mission in 1929 providing medical services, and oversaw a hospital expansion. The couple had two sons and a daughter, all born in China. After World War II, the Henkes found that the practice of medicine under the communist regime was increasingly restrictive, so they reluctantly returned to the U.S. where Henke continued a practice in the Los Angeles area until his retirement. Harold died in 1982, and Jessie in 2000. This scholarship was established by the Henke’s son, Richard, who followed his father’s footsteps into medicine, and became a pathologist.

Les Klug Scholarship Fund Established by Marjorie Klug Evans in 1996.

Wisconsin native, Les Klug (1930-1988) was a visionary who influenced the art world through his unique approach to photography. What distinguished him as an artist was that unlike other photographers, a picture was not his final product. Rather, it was the starting point from which he developed the hybrid images for which he is known. Remarkable was his ability to manipulate images before the age of digital photography. Carroll holds the largest collection of Les Klug photography in the world. This award recognizes outstanding art students demonstrating financial need and merit who are participating in Carroll’s photography program. Klug’s sister Marjorie remains active with the fund.

John W. and Mildred J. Koning Scholarship Fund Established by Mildred J. Koning in 1989.

Dr. John W. Koning '27 spent his life fulfilling the Lord’s work. He was a 1927 graduate of Carroll majoring in Latin, and went on to receive his theological degree from Princeton Seminary in 1930. He served as a chaplain in the U.S. Army during World War II, and then he and his wife Mildred, who was a nurse, served as missionaries in West Africa. He was one of the founders of the Voice of Evangelism radio program, and served pastorates in Brooklyn, N.Y.; Davenport, Iowa; and Wisconsin throughout his career. In 1966, he retired from the ministry and went on to realize a dream and fulfillment of a vision to build the Ridgecrest Retirement Village. Ridgecrest was the first of its kind in the area at the time, moving away from the nursing home model to a retirement living facility community. He was the guiding force behind the project, did much of its fundraising, and served as chaplain for the senior community. As a student, he toiled at making ends meet to pay for college on his own. He realized the importance of a college education, and valued his own formative experience at Carroll. After his death in 1986, his wife Mildred made provisions to establish a fund in their name to support worthy students at Carroll, with preference to those entering the ministry. If no qualifying candidates exist, awards are then made to worthy students demonstrating financial need. The Konings’ daughter and son continue to be active with the fund.

Dr. Janine Krauss Memorial Scholarship Fund Established by Siegfried Krauss in memory of Janine Krauss, professor emeritus at Carroll in 2000.

Raised in France, and having attended Parisian schools throughout her student years, Janine Krauss found it an honor to dedicate her career to teaching others the French language and culture. Janine first came to America while visiting some friends in New Jersey in the early 1960s. She liked it so much in the U.S. that she decided to stay. Having studied English for seven years, she easily adapted to her new surroundings. She began working first as a bilingual secretary at the United Nations, and then teaching summers at Middlebury College in Vermont. A position at Marquette University brought her to Wisconsin, and shortly after she started her tenure at Carroll. Janine joined the Carroll faculty in 1968 as an assistant professor, and was promoted to associate professor of French in 1977. She established Carroll’s first foreign language study abroad program in Normandy, France. After her untimely passing in 2000, Janine’s husband, Siegfried, established this scholarship in her loving memory to support full-time students of the French language. If no qualified candidates exist, then preference is given to any qualified undergraduate to help them in their studies.

Kay & Max Kurz Art Scholarship FundEstablished in memory of Kay & Max Kurz by their family & friends in 2015.

It was sneaking into a Munich art show in 1937 when Nazis were burning books, firing art teachers and sacking museum curators where Kathe "Kay" Kurz was inspired to become an artist. Judged decadent and unacceptably modern by Hitler, the clean lines and bright colors of works by Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky resonated with Kurz, who took up painting, and in a way, found her life's direction. Kurz immigrated to America on her own, settling in New York where she worked as a maid and in a paint brush factory. She met Max Kurz, who immigrated from Vienna in 1938, at an English language class. They moved to the Midwest while Max Kurz earned his degrees, and where he eventually became Dean of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Social Welfare. Meanwhile, Kay studied art at City College of New York and Iowa State and began teaching painting classes at Carroll in 1968 where she was an art instructor for over 25 years.

Kurz's artwork was very colorful and reflected her love of nature and flowers. Many of her paintings juxtapose the straight lines of architecture with the natural contours of her garden. She started in oils and acrylics and switched to water colors later in life. She continued her work as an artist until she died April 3, 2015 at her Waukesha home, a day after her 93rd birthday. This scholarship supports students in the art field to encourage their creativity and passion. Her sons, Robb and Mark Kurz, are active with the fund.

N.F. Morley Scholarship Fund Established by N.F. Morley in 1947.

As Wisconsin’s oldest chartered college, the Carroll College of 1846 represented the hopes of the early settlers that their community would lead the way in civilizing and Christianizing the Wisconsin frontier. Like many other Wisconsin colleges facing tough economic hardship during that time, Carroll found it a necessity to secure denominational support to ensure its continued viability. In November 1849, the Carroll Board of Trustees petitioned the Presbytery of Wisconsin to have Carroll adopted as a Synod school. It is this affiliation and relationship with the Presbyterian Church that prompted and nurtured many future benefactors to Carroll. N.F. Morley left his estate to Carroll through the church, offering scholarship assistance to be given to students studying for the ministry.

H. Edward Moser Scholarship Fund Established by Mildred M. Moser in 1999.

There are several charitable vehicles that individuals can consider when wanting to make a gift to support their charity. There are outright cash gifts, or provisions one can make through their will to leave assets through their estate. Jean McNary explored the option of a charitable gift annuity as she wanted to provide an income for her sister Mildred while doing something charitable for Carroll. A charitable gift annuity provides a regular stream of income for a beneficiary and upon their death the remainder is left to the designated charity. Jean decided this was the best option for her; and subsequently each quarter, Mildred received a fixed percentage of the principal from a gift to Carroll. When Mildred died in February 2005, the remainder was added to a scholarship in Mildred’s son’s name, the late Herbert Edward Moser. Moser was a 1971 graduate of Carroll, majoring in psychology, and active in Sigma Phi Epsilon, and the track team during his time as a student. He passed away in October 1998.

Mundschau Fund for Women’s Higher Education to support female students, with preference to those from Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, or Waukesha Counties.

Annie Rankin Scholarship Fund Established by Thomas J. Rankin in 1964.

The Rankin family and their connection to Carroll goes back to the school’s early years of inception. It was 1865 when William Alexander, acting president for Carroll, had offered his resignation, and the trustees began a search for a new leader who could oversee Carroll’s postwar reconstruction. Walter Lowrie Rankin was recommended for the post. Rankin was born in Allahabad, India, and was only 25 years old when he came to Waukesha to resurrect Carroll from early struggles to remain a viable college. He went on to devote over 40 years to the reconstruction of Carroll, laying a foundation for growth and prosperity of the college. As a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Rankin met his future wife, Mary Jane Nickell, through their Presbyterian choir. Together, they lived in the house which still stands on the northeast corner of East Avenue and McCall Street. Mary would teach music at Carroll, and later their daughter, May Nickell Rankin, would become chair of the oratory department, serve as Carroll’s first woman professor, and oversee the Carroll Players—the first student dramatic group in Wisconsin. The Rankin family legacy continues with the establishment of this scholarship in the name of Annie Rankin. This award provides critical aid to worthy students honoring this great family lineage at Carroll.

Priscilla Anderson Richmond Scholarship FundEstablished through the estate of Priscilla Richmond ’39 in 2015.

The philosophy of Priscilla Richmond ’39 was to always live life to the fullest. She was born in Canada and moved to the United States with her family in 1930, settling in Waukesha. Priscialla knew at a young age that she wanted to attend Carroll. However, like many others after the Great Depression, she assumed she could not afford to do so.

She graduated from Carroll in 1939 in history and went on to become a librarian. Her life included frequent and extensive travels to Europe, Alaska, Hong Kong and New Zealand. She called Door County home where she enjoyed the rich art and music offerings that the community is known for. Knowing she wanted to help others fulfill their dreams of a Carroll education, she established several gift annuities during her lifetime that allowed her to travel and enjoy herself during her lifetime and upon her passing in 2015 the remainder established this scholarship fund.

After her death in 1992, George wanted to do something in Gladys’ memory at her alma mater. Richter’s impetus for supporting the health sciences and scholarships for nursing was spurred by his experience as Gladys’ health failed. He was heartened by the quality of care his wife received and wanted to support the education and training of those who will provide that level of care to others in need. The Richter Scholars are recognized for outstanding achievement in the field of nursing.

Ida Belle Ringling Scholarship Fund Established through the estate of Ida Belle Ringling in 1966.

Robert W. Schindler Scholarship Fund Established by Robert W. Schindler '41 in 2006.

In 1939, Robert Schindler was in need of financial aid. He was studying engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison when his younger sister graduated from high school.

He graduated in 1941 with a major in economics and psychology, and worked much of his career at Globe Union in human resources, performing and improving mental evaluations and serving as the national manager of health and safety. He retired on October 1, 1978, ten days before the company was acquired by Johnson Controls. Robert established this endowed scholarship fund to provide scholarship aid to students in financial need.

Dr. Scholl Foundation Scholarship Fund for Nursing Established by the Dr. Scholl Foundation in 1987.

The Dr. Scholl Foundation was established by Dr. William M. Scholl in 1947. It is a charitable, grantmaking foundation created from the success of the business Scholl founded, the Scholl Manufacturing Company. Scholl was born into a family of 13 children in 1882, the son of Indiana dairy farmers. On that small farm, he learned the values of a strong work ethic combined with compassion for the less fortunate. He left the farm at age 16 to apprentice in a shoemaker's shop, where he noted the number of customers who complained of foot pain and discomfort. Intrigued by the ailments of the foot, he attended Illinois Medical College, now Loyola University, and earned his medical degree in 1904. He never practiced medicine; but over the next 50 years, he built a great corporation out of the simple belief that "when your feet hurt, you hurt all over." The Dr. Scholl Foundation continues his legacy by providing aid to organizations that improve our communities. This endowed scholarship fund was established by the Dr. Scholl Foundation to provide aid to worthy nursing students at Carroll.

Schroetter/Hsu Scholarship FundEstablished by John T. Hsu '53 in 1999.

John T. Hsu '53 is one of the few musicians in the world considered a virtuoso player of the viola da gamba, a bowed, stringed musical instrument developed in the mid-late 15th century used primarily in the Renaissance and Baroque periods; and the rare baryton, viewed as a sort of augmented bass viol, distinguished by an extra set of plucked strings. He actively researches the early compositions of Joseph Haydn, 18th century Austrian composer, and recreates the music’s delicate beauty. His efforts have won acclaim from both the public and critics. He has performed around the world, from New York’s Lincoln Center to the Esterhazy Palace in Austria. John came to Carroll on a scholarship from Shanghai, China, in 1949. His cello teacher, Josef Schroetter, recognized his tremendous talent and encouraged him to apply to the New England Conservatory of Music.

During his career, he was professor of humanities and music at Cornell University, conductor of the Apollo Ensemble, and founder and member of the Haydn Baryton Trio. Hsu established this scholarship in his name and the name of his Carroll mentor to provide assistance to students demonstrating financial need who maintain a 3.0 grade point average or better.

Carroll annually receives support through the Victor Vega Educational Fund at the Greater Milwaukee Foundation providing financial assistance to students from Peru or other South American countries.

Carl A. and Janice S. Vennerholm Scholarship Fund Established by Janice S. Vennerholm in 1985.

Although Janice did not attend Carroll, she established this scholarship in her and her late husband Carl’s name. The income from this fund is used for scholarships for commuting students at Carroll. Professionally, Janice led a career serving as secretary to the chairman of the Metallurgical Branch of the Steel Division in Washington, D.C.

He went on to become vice president of personnel relations for the Square D Co., a major manufacturer of electrical distribution and control equipment. In 1986, Vetta died from cancer at the age of 57. Three of the five Vetta children also attended Carroll. Dave Vetta '76, the eldest son of Carol and James, believes the family legacy is just one of the reasons he and his wife Katy (Crooks) Vetta '78 consider it important to give back to Carroll, “It was a great school when I attended, and I want the same sense of pride and commitment for future generations.” The Vetta family established this scholarship in James’ memory, recognizing outstanding students majoring in business with financial assistance to support their continuing studies.

Today, he is recognized as one of the world’s leading cancer researchers, cited as a pioneer in the development of promising cancer drugs, including those for the treatment of leukemia, breast cancer, lymphoma, prostate and pancreatic cancer. His major interest is the development of anti-cancer agents to accelerate the development of cancer drugs.

Currently, Dr. Von Hoff runs a Phase I oncology clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he and his team treat patients for whom other cancer treatments have been ineffective. Along with a University of Pennsylvania college, Dan received an $18 million grant from Stand Up to Cancer to support their pioneering work on pancreatic cancer. Dr. and Mrs. Von Hoff value the time they had at Carroll. Their scholarship provides opportunities for future students to enjoy a similar rewarding experience they enjoyed. The Von Hoff Scholars are recognized for their academic achievement with preference to those majoring in the sciences, including biology, chemistry, geography, or nursing majors.

Originally from Waupaca, Wis., Carol J. Warren '52 was convinced by her high school English teacher, Betty (Gerling) Spindt, a 1943 alumna, to attend Carroll. Carol never regretted that decision. She wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, but she loved to sing, so decided to major in music and English. She was active in the Carroll Players, choir, German club, House Council, Alumni Secretary, and Delta Zeta sorority. Following graduation in 1952, she remained in Waukesha, married and raised four children. She, along with a small group of concerned citizens, established La Casa de Esperanza, a local non-profit committed to providing opportunities to low-income families to achieve full social and economic participation in society, with emphasis on the Hispanic population. Carol, who helped support herself going to Carroll by waiting tables in the old Voorhees dormitory dining room, understood the importance of scholarship aid. She named Carroll as a beneficiary in her estate plans and upon her death in 2011, this scholarship was established to provide financial aid to students majoring in English, music or art who demonstrate financial need. Her daughter Patricia remains active with the fund.

Waukesha State Bank Scholars ProgramEstablished by Waukesha State Bank in 1996.

The ties that bind Carroll University and Waukesha State Bank go back decades. Carl Taylor, who established the bank in 1944, was a self-made Oklahoma native who worked his way through high school and went on to earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. At one point in his college career, Taylor received a scholarship from an anonymous donor. He long remembered that selflessness, and that motivated his family’s commitment and generosity throughout his career. After 25 years in business, Carl retired as president in 1969. Don Taylor, whose lifetime career was the bank, then succeeded his father as president and led the bank's growth for the next quarter-century. Don served on the Carroll Board of Trustees from 1981-1992. He retired in 1994, and Carroll graduate Marty Frank ’63, who joined the bank's staff as a high school senior in 1959, was elected president to follow Taylor’s footsteps. Like all the bank's leaders, Marty was active in many business, civic and community organizations. He, too, served on the Carroll Board of Trustees, and was chairman of the board’s investment committee from 2003 until his untimely death in 2008. The bank, now under the leadership of Carl’s grandson, Ty R. Taylor, is continuing the Taylor family legacy and guiding business principle—“A Bank is People!" Ty also remains an instrumental part of the civic community, currently serving on the Carroll Board of Trustees. Since the inception of the Waukesha State Bank Scholars Program, hundreds of scholarships have been awarded to incoming freshman who are high-achieving Waukesha County students. This program continues the leadership and community service work of the bank, and honors Carl’s legacy and commitment to education.
