Impact
Lillian’s education at La Crosse had a significant impact on her life and as a result, she named the UWL Foundation in her estate. Think about it: Almost 70 years after she left La Crosse, her generosity is returned to current UWL students. Since 2008, more than $500,000 has been awarded to students who plan a career involving the care and treatment of persons with physical disabilities.
