Friends and family of the late Dody Murray established the Dody Murray Memorial Scholarship.  Dody Murray was a registered nurse and a native of Wisconsin.  She and her husband, Jack, a general surgeon, settled in Monroe, where they lived for many years until Jack retired.  A few months after she and Jack relocated to Arizona to enjoy the good life, Dody discovered that she had terminal cancer.  She passes away in December of 1990. 
Dody was actively involved in community organizations and volunteer work.  Her interest included theater guild, the St. Clare Hospital Auxiliary and the Monroe Women’s Club as well as tennis and bowling leagues.  Her compassion and cheery nature made her well-loved in many circles.  In recognition of her goodness, her many friends wanted to pay tribute to her in a meaningful, lasty way.  Dody would be pleased to know that future registered nurses are being encouraged to the true Murray family tradition!  Dody is missed my all who knew her.  It is not possible to describe in so few words the type of person she was, but we would like the recipient to know that Dody was a person of distinction and a true humanitarian—someone who touched many lives and will never be forgotten.

Joan Waier Memorial Endowed Scholarship

Business, Education, Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, University Center

The Joan Waier Memorial Endowed Scholarship fund has been created in honor of Joan M. Waier, who was born in Whitelaw, Wisconsin. Joan passed away in Janesville, Wisconsin on June 15, 2020.   As a potential and shining first-generation college student Joan experienced the same hurdles to access higher education than as today’s generation such as lacking college guidance counseling teams, a peer network, and financial resources.  Today’s easy access to career exploration, higher education information, and financial aid applications at our fingertips did not exist in the 1950s.  Without mentorship, guidance counseling staff, or a network of college peers she entered the working world. She often provided childcare throughout the years, providing learning experiences for each of them.    A purposeful and focused woman, she devoted her time to her family, recognizing the value of a small circle of drama-free friendships. Joan took great pride in her agricultural roots, as her family had a farm in Whitelaw, Wisconsin.

The TechForward Initiative builds on the Mechatronics program area curriculum by integrating four work-based learning courses that utilize an automated manufacturing cell at Blackhawk’s new Innovative Manufacturing Education Center.

The initiative involves two student groups:
  • Cohort 1: If you are randomly selected to be in cohort 1 you will follow the traditional Mechatronics program area curriculum with foundational coursework and lab-based learning.
  • Cohort 2: If you are randomly selected to be in cohort 2 you will follow the same Mechatronics program area curriculum as cohort 1, but with one important difference. The traditional classroom learning is combined with four hands-on work-based learning courses that utilize the manufacturing cell located within the lab environment.
This experimental approach allows Blackhawk faculty and industry partners to evaluate whether the work-based learning courses result in faster, more confident career readiness.
 
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the TechForward Initiative is designed to equip you with the skills needed to land a high-paying job in fields like mechatronics, engineering, and maintenance.
