Peers will honor Radder’s memory
After learning about their classmate’s death, student mentors with the Phuture Phoenix program voted to establish an annual award in Radder’s memory. It will be called the Whitney Radder Phenomenal Role Model Award and will be given to a rising UW-Green Bay student demonstrating commitment and dedication to their work as a role model in one of the Phuture Phoenix schools.
