$25,000 In Gifts, Pledges Fund Ringgenberg Award


by Anne Dolan

Fortified with $25,000 in gifts and pledges from more than 
160 donors, the Carroll Ringgenberg Award became official at 
a Sept. 7 luncheon. Philosophy professor Richard Van Iten, 
chair of the award planning committee, presented President 
Martin Jischke with a check for $25,000 representing the 
Ringgenberg endowment fund.

Special guests included Carolyn Ringgenberg, a secretary with 
the ISU Alumni Association and Ringgenberg's widow; and their 
two sons, Curt and Jason, both of the Kansas City area.

Beginning next spring, a P&S employee who embodies traits his 
friends and colleagues remember in Ringgenberg -- dedication, 
goodwill, humor and service to others -- will receive the 
award and a $1,000 cash award.

Nomination forms are available now for the Ringgenberg award, 
as well as other service awards for P&S employees. 
Nominations are due by Dec. 15 to the P&S Council office, 103 
Lab of Mechanics. 

The P&S Representation and Awards Committee will review all 
nominations for the Ringgenberg award and recommend three to 
five finalists to Warren Madden, vice president for business 
and finance. Madden will make the final selection and the 
winner will be recognized each year at the spring awards 
convocation.
