Professors John Stoll and Kevin Fermanich named UW-Green Bay’s ‘Earth Caretakers’ for 2024

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Environmental Management and Business Institute (EMBI) will award the 14th annual Earth Caretaker Award to Dr. John Stoll, UW-Green Bay Emeritus Professor of Economics and alumnus, and an honorary Earth Caretaker Award to Dr. Kevin Fermanich, Emeritus Professor, Geoscience, Environmental Science and Water Science.

Both John and Kevin served as faculty associates and executive committee members for the Environmental Management and Business Institute from 2008-2023 and were founding co-directors during the inaugural year of EMBI in 2008-09. In addition to guiding the development of EMBI, over their lengthy tenures, these two well-known professors were instrumental in preparing many of our undergraduate and graduate alumni for future careers. Biographies on each of our winners can be found on the EMBI Earth Caretaker Award webpage.
