CLEVELAND, WI —

At the Lakeshore Technical College annual awards reception held May 10, excellence both in and out of the classroom was recognized among students, staff, and community leaders.

Manitowoc County Sheriff Dan Hartwig received the 2019 Alumnus of the Year award. The award is given to an LTC graduate who demonstrates outstanding achievement in their career, provides service to the community, and demonstrates loyalty to the college. Hartwig is a 1998 alumnus of what is known today as LTC’s Criminal Justice-Law Enforcement program.

“Do something that makes a difference,” Hartwig advised the audience. “Find someone to look up to as a role model, and surround yourself with positive people.”

Ben Harrison, owner and CEO of Kaysun Corporation, received the Educational Leadership award which goes to an individual who exhibits outstanding service above self in building an educational foundation to help others become their personal best.

“I’m proud to support LTC, a college with great leadership and programs. I encourage Kaysun employees to attend,” said Harrison.

Faculty and staff who were honored with LTC Team Dealer in Hope awards include Practical Nursing Instructor Kristin Gadzinski, Clinical Skills Lab Facilitator Kathy Leonhardt, and Energy and Agriculture Programs Administrative Specialist Kitty Thiele. This award is given to those who continually go above and beyond to deal hope to LTC students inside and outside the classroom, and help students reach their academic and professional goals.
