Adam Zellmer Louise M. Sorenson Scholarship Recipient “…an excellent student; he’s very motivated to be an effective teacher.”

Adam Zellmer’s scholarship was made possible through the generosity of Louise Sorensen… “I didn’t have financial resources to attend college. It was the last year a high school graduate was eligible to teach in a rural school. I taught my first year after high school and went to Iowa State Teachers College (ISTC) in the summer and did so for the next two years. Then I had enough money saved to attend ISTC for a full year and get my 2-year degree. Then I taught in Sac City for a year so I could save money and return to ISTC to complete my BA. Once I was earning a salary I wanted to start a scholarship to help other students attend college.” Louise Sorensen-Class of 1954
Major/Minor: Business Teaching

Hometown: Kingsley , IA

Leading and Volunteering: KDP Pi Omega Pi, Wrestling Coach Homes Junior High, Mentor Gearing Up Program .

Why UNI is special to me: I transferred to UNI my sophomore year and immediately fell in love with everything UNI had to offer. It had the small town atmosphere I was looking for, yet it offered me the opportunities of a large university. The students, faculty, and staff make this the best University in the State!

Favorite Campus Setting : My favorite place on campus is the WRC. It has been a great place to meet people, stay healthy, and unwind from a long day of studying.
