Wisconsin graduates honored as ‘Badgers of the Year’

Nine UW–Madison graduates living in communities across Wisconsin have been selected by their peers as Badgers of the Year, an honor awarded by chapters of the Wisconsin Alumni Association.

Established in 2004, the Badger of the Year awards honor UW–Madison graduates who have made a positive impact on their communities. Recipients are alumni who live in Wisconsin and are making a difference as business or community leaders, volunteers, educators, philanthropists or UW–Madison advocates.

Recipients are selected annually by local alumni chapter leaders. The 2008 Badgers of the Year are:

• Dick Cable ’55, Chippewa Valley
• Lynn Casper ’76, Waukesha
• Robert Dueholm ’68, Polk County
• Roger Hansen MS’79, Chequamegon Bay
• Greg Huber ’78, JD’81, Wausau
• Susan Jansen ’90, Marshfield
• Michael Jones ’81, Milwaukee
• Peter Kelly ’78, Fox Valley
• Harold Maier ’51, Brown County
• Donald Muth ’62, MD’65, Washington County

Awards are presented during spring Founders’ Day celebrations, held annually to commemorate the founding of UW–Madison.
