James Albertson was the President of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point from 1962-1967. During the Vietnam War, Albertson led a mission of 8 educators to Vietnam to study their educational system and to try and better it. Albertson and his entire team would be killed on their way back from that mission as their plane crashed.
Albertson was honored Wednesday as this marks the 50th anniversary of his death. Many family members of Albertson and Albertson's team were in attendance for the ceremony. UWSP Chancellor, Bernie Patterson, was very pleased to see them make it.
