Never Stop Learning.
Today more than ever, adults are pursuing education even after being in the workplace or in a specific career for decades.
Richard "Fritz" Wurzer Memorial Scholarship
Sometimes adult education is to further a current profession, while other times it’s to pursue something brand new. We think it’s wonderful, and it’s why we established the Fritz Wurzer Memorial Scholarship for Adult Education. Fritz was MPR radio host Cathy Wurzer’s dad, and he personified persistence, integrity and commitment to his family, his friends, his faith and to whatever job needed to be done.
