When Bill and Tami Wyman retired in the spring of 2019, NWU alumni and friends came together to establish an endowment in their honor. Bill and Tami asked that the endowment go to establish two annual awards: one award to be presented to a custodian, grounds or maintenance employee and the other to be presented to an administrative assistant. Eligible employees are full or part-time with five or more years of service to NWU. 

Lois Schroeder, administrative assistant for residential education 

Lois has worked at Nebraska Wesleyan for 27 years and has held multiple positions across campus, including student account representative, data manager, information specialist in Advancement, and has served as the administrative assistant for residential education since 2011.

Gary Crouse, maintenance - heating plant engineer 

Gary has been at Nebraska Wesleyan for 18 years in his role as a heating plant engineer. Gary’s service to NWU came to a close at the end of August when he retired.

Congratulations Lois and Gary on this award. We appreciate your many years of service to our institution.
