R. J. AND ALICE R. MCCOLLOCH SCHOLARSHIP

R. J. AND ALICE R. MCCOLLOCH SCHOLARSHIP

R.J. and Alice McColloch came to the University of Wyoming in 1956, and this marked the beginning of their many contributions to the campus and Laramie community. R.J. served as head of the biochemistry department and with Glenn Miller, a food scientist, helped to transform it from a research unit into a teaching and research department. He went on to become the dean of the graduate school before retiring as professor emeritus in 1982. His beloved wife Alice was known for her hard work and contributions to the University of Wyoming and the city of Laramie. She volunteered with the Gem City Players, KUWR Public Radio, Albany County Library, and taught English as a Second Language. Her tragic death several years ago was felt by all who knew her. This scholarship is established in memory of Alice.
