Be True to Your “School”
After a 40-year career with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, alumnus Tim Kroeff ’75 is dedicated to giving back to UWSP. Growing up next to a creek and Lake Michigan, Kroeff was destined for a career in fisheries. The hands-on experiences and strong relationships he built with fellow College of Natural Resources (CNR) students were crucial to his successful career and inspired his desire to give back. Most recently, Kroeff made a generous contribution to help rebuild water-damaged offices in the CNR, dedicating his gift to his fellow classmates from his time at UWSP.
