Take A Walk Around Waldorf

ERIC J. BARTLESON ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP

We are excited to share with you the Eric J Bartleson Alumni Scholarship. This scholarship enables you, our alumni, to give directly to a current Waldorf student in their junior or senior year who needs financial assistance to continue their Waldorf education.

The scholarship was named after Dr. Eric J. Bartleson '64, a former alumni board member, who passed away in 2020. Eric’s love and dedication to Waldorf was apparent both as a student and an alum. Eric realized that Waldorf was not only a place of academia but also a place of self-growth. Eric held the belief, as our other board members do, that Waldorf alumni is a family that supports each other.

Our goal is to endow this scholarship by raising $25,000. Visit the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation website at waldorffoundation.org to donate or you may mail a check to:

Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation 106 South 6th Street Forest City, IA 50436

Your donation is tax deductible.

12 new and/or upgraded security cameras have been installed throughout the campus. Safety and security is an important priority to Waldorf University, and these added cameras will seek to add to the protection of those on campus.

Watertower Parking Lot Paved!

New Sign!

In 2006, Waldorf students were promised that over the summer the "Watertower Lot" would be paved and striped. However, this project continually got delayed for various reasons - even with several pushes of the student senate. After 16 years, the wait is finally over! The parking lot is freshly paved and striped as of last fall, and students have been enjoying the perks of good parking!

A new Warrior Athletics sign has been erected outside of the Hanson Fieldhouse. The sign is a full sized athletics "W" logo which lights up at night. Tim Tarris '70, designed and built the sign from scratch and donated it to Waldorf University. The sign was installed last fall, and landscaping was done by Denny Jerome '70. Pictured above (L-R) with the sign is Denny and Kathy Jerome with Vicky and Tim Tarris.

HOW CAN YOU get involved ?

Do you have a passion or skill that you would be willing to share on campus? Are you looking to continue your education with a certificate or degree that Waldorf doesn't have? Are you interested in becoming a mentor for a student in your field/industry? Is your business looking to hire interns/recent graduates? Have you ever considered serving on the Alumni Board of Directors? Do you or a classmate have a story that would inspire?

We would love to hear from you! All of these (and more) are ways to get involved with your alma mater. Please don't hesitate to reach out to alumni@waldorf.edu if any of these apply to you.

Thank you for your continued support of Waldorf University and the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation.

We appreciate everything you do for Waldorf University!
