Gifts in Action
Mary Bayorgeon, far right, and Chancellor Richard Wells congratulate eight recent recipients of the Agnes Drexler Kujawa Memorial Scholarship. Bayorgeon and her brother and sister-in-law, John and Nancy Kujawa of Berlin, established the scholarship for single mothers to honor their own mothers, who, because of family circumstances and the lack of educational opportunities for women at that time, were unable to pursue a college education. The scholarship was created to enable women with family responsibilities to obtain an education and prepare themselves for employment opportunities to better provide for themselves and their children. Since the fund's inception in 1993, 100 women have received financial assistance through this scholarship program.
Dr. Robert Havens, founder of the UW Oshkosh counselor education department, retired in 2003 after 36 years as a counselor educator at the University. He established the Robert (Pete) Havens Scholarship to stimulate and promote the development and professionalism of students preparing to become professional counselors. In recognition of his commitment to diversity, advocacy and leadership, Timothy Locum was named the first recipient of the scholarship (shown here with Havens, right, and Chancellor Richard Wells).

The company sponsors this scholarship for junior or senior business students in recognition of superior scholarship and involvement in extracurricular activities. 4imprint also awards an annual scholarship to a graphic arts student at UW Oshkosh.
