CEHHS Maybelle Ranney (Brechlin) Price Professorship
Description of the Professorship:
The Maybelle Ranney Price Professorship is in honor of Maybelle Ranney (Brechlin) Price, who graduated from the Stout Institute and taught briefly at Roberts, WI and Savannah, IL high schools and later in Fond du Lac and Eau Claire. She concluded her career at the Chippewa Valley Technical College.
Following World War II, Maybelle became a civilian employee of the U.S. Government in Okinawa and on her return to the U.S. worked as a medical secretary in San Francisco and at the University of
Minnesota hospital. Upon her death in 1993, a bequest was left to the Stout University Foundation, part of which has been used to partially endow the Maybelle Professorship. Beginning in 2013, additional support for the Maybelle Professorship was provided by the College of Education, Health and Human
Sciences.

CHANGE OF PROCEDURES: The Chancellor, with advice from appropriate organizations or individuals, may modify the emphasis and the number and size of the awards.
