WHITEWATER
One of Thor Mansonâs advisors from UW-Whitewater asked him to jump on a Zoom call one April night to talk about revising some requirements for the major.
The Geography student, who graduated in December, was happy to help out.
They were sidetracked into a conversation about the political situation in Ethiopia, where Manson said the advisorâs wife is from, when another guest entered the video chat.
It was Chancellor Dwight Watson. But Manson said he âdidnât skip a beat,â until Watson asked him about the Truman Scholarship for those interested in public service.
Manson was âkind of disappointed.â He had applied for that scholarship, but had expected to hear back by April 15, and it was already April 18.
