WALSAA recognizes 10 outstanding sophomores
The Wisconsin Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni Association (WALSAA) recently continued its proud tradition of promoting student excellence at UW–Madison. After receiving a number of applications, the WALSAA scholarship committee narrowed down its search for the Top 10 Outstanding Sophomores through a rigorous pre-screening process that focused equally on academic achievement, campus involvement/leadership, community service and relevant experience. From there, only a chosen few were selected to interview in front of a panel of three WALSAA board members. Ten final awardees were selected based on interview performance.
WALSAA’s Outstanding Sophomore Awardees for 2016 include:
• Faith Bowman, Milwaukee, Genetics
• Clara Cole, Colgate, Animal Science/Poultry Science
• Claire Gietzel, Monticello, Agronomy
• Sara Griswold, Black Earth, Life Sciences Communication
• Charles Hamilton, Cuba City, Dairy Science
• Abigail Martin, Janesville, Dairy Science
• Mariah Martin, Brooklyn, Life Sciences Communication
• Jessica Miller, Germantown, Genetics
• Bradley Morgan, Fond du Lac, Biology
• Austin Wenck, East Troy, Animal Science
