We hope you will join us for our Annual Scholarship Celebration and Lecture.  We will introduce and award scholarships of $7000 each to 3 deserving UW undergraduates and hear their inspirational stories.

Our speaker, Dagmar Shannon, a longtime UWFA member, is a gifted photographer and storyteller.  She and her husband have traveled to all 7 continents and almost 100 countries. This trip to Russia stands out as a favorite.  You will enjoy the trip from St. Petersburg to Moscow as Dagmar takes us up river and through many lakes, canals, and locks while we enjoy the history, palaces, riches and palaces of Russia.
