Student Stories: Past Award Recipients

Michael Hartman
McFarland High School
2000 Scholarship Recipient
I am currently working as a certified nursing assistant at a nursing home. My plan is to go back to school in the fall or spring to work towards becoming a registered nurse.

I got married to the man of my dreams last year on June 22nd, in Thunder Bay Canada. We just purchased a condo in Sun Prairie -- we close on the 26th of June!

The LGBT movement has been a large part of my life. I worked for a gay owned and operated bookstore in Milwaukee while I was in school. It was a great time and I loved everything that I learned about our community. I have also been working with different groups to get the right to marry in Wisconsin.
