Continuing with its newest tradition, the Wisconsin Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni Association will present the sixth WALSAA Daluge Red Jacket Award at their Football Fire-Up event on Sept. 10. This year’s recipient is the late Jim Crowley, Jr.
Crowley was named this year’s recipient because of his dedication and service to WALSAA for many years. He served on the WALSAA Board for six years and was president of the organization from 2002-03. Crowley was an active member of WALSAA and served the organization as a key planner of the WALSAA Football Fire-Up tailgate event for 25 years. The Fire-Up events were a great success due to his involvement.
Crowley graduated from UW-Madison with a PhD in veterinary science in 1978 and was a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. He not only volunteered with WALSAA, but he served as World Dairy Expo Dairy Superintendent and Brown Swiss Superintendent for many years.
The WALSAA Daluge Red Jacket Award honors Rick and Peggy Daluge. Rick was WALSAA’s Executive Director for many years and a founding member of the National Agricultural Alumni and Development Association. Rick served as CALS Placement Director and CALS Assistant Dean before retiring as FISC Director in 2008. A red jacket is presented in honor of someone who has made a significant contribution to WALSAA and the future of the organization.
