Russel and Margaret Fischer Scholarship

Margie and Russ Fischer created their scholarship to support the University of Minnesota Morris, an institution they view as an important asset to the region and to the education of area students. While Russ was an executive in Milbank, South Dakota, he was a valued adviser to Chancellor Dave Johnson on UMM’s Chancellor Advisory Council in the 1990s. Margie and Russ grew up in New York and after relocating to this region they continued to serve their home communities of Minneapolis and Milbank. They also enjoyed traveling and attending UMM events.
