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!

My First Conference
