The Wisconsin Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni Association (WALSAA) recently continued its proud tradition of promoting student excellence at UW–Madison. After receiving a number of applications, the WALSAA scholarship committee narrowed down its search for the Top 10 Outstanding Sophomores through a rigorous prescreening process that focused equally on academic achievement, campus involvement/leadership, community service and relevant experience. From there, twenty one students were selected to interview in front of a panel of three WALSAA members. Ten final awardees were selected based on interview performance.
WALSAA’s Outstanding Sophomore Recipients for 2022 include:
- Nicole Broege; Janesville, Wisconsin; Dairy science
