Farewell to Prof. Laatsch

He began his UW System teaching career as an instructor with the Green Bay and Fox Valley center campuses in 1966-67. He received awards for excellence in teaching from the UW-Green Bay Founders Association and from the National Council for Geographic Education. A classroom in the University’s Mary Ann Cofrin Hall, and a 600-acre ecological tract in Canada’s Yukon Territory are named for him. In addition to being a superb teacher and scholar, he is also widely regarded as being a fine gentleman and one of UW-Green Bay’s best ambassadors.
