The Wisconsin Presenters Network established the Lorraine Gross Memorial Scholarship in recognition of Dr. Lorraine Haugk Gross (1935–-1998), a long-time faculty member at the University of Wisconsin –Whitewater and a frequent attendee of the Midwest Arts Conference. The scholarship enables one student to attend the Midwest Arts Conference each year. We look forward to seeing Hannah next month in Indy!
