Athletics Hall of Fame
Doris and Karl Zahn are the 2006 recipients of the UW-W Athletic Hall of Fame Distinguished Service Award. The Zahns were charter members of the UW-W booster clubs for football, Men's basketball, Women's basketball and baseball, donating both time and money to each. Both are also frequent spectators at many Warhawk events, both in Whitewater and following teams on the road. They graduated from UW-W, Karl in 1956 and Doris in 1959. Karl later served the university as a professor in the College of Education and Doris worked as an elementary teacher in the Whitewater school district. Doris has guided numerous UW-W student teachers through their first moments in a classroom and also served a stint as president of the UW-Whitewater alumni association, where Karl has also been an active member. The Zahns, residents of Whitewater, have continued their commitment to UW-Whitewater with an annual scholarship.
