Recipients of the Craig A. Mueller scholarships gathered for a recognition event Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022, in the University Union 1965 Room.

Craig A. Mueller ’71 (Humanism in Cultural Change) passed away in 2006, leaving more than $1 million to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay providing need-based aid through the Craig A. Mueller Phuture Phoenix Scholarship and support for students majoring in art, music, theater, communications and other areas within the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Craig A. Mueller Arts and VD&C Scholarship.

This year, his generous gift is supporting 39 students with scholarships.

Scholarships have been awarded from Mueller’s bequest nearly 450 times for a total of more than $500,000 in aid to UW-Green Bay students.

Craig’s sister, Marcia Mueller, from Washington, and cousin Ruth Erdmann, from Minnesota, attended to help celebrate Craig’s lasting legacy and impact.
