Morgridge Book

“The Morgridges are the epitome of the Wisconsin Idea, and it is clear that the UW is a top philanthropic priority. They came to the University of Wisconsin– Madison together and remain proud graduates. But they also recognize the value of the UW System campuses and Wisconsin's technical colleges — this is the educational definition of the Wisconsin Idea. “John and Tashia embody the belief that education should influence people's lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom, and their altruism has been felt in every corner of the state. Words are inadequate in defining their authenticity, their kindness, and their generosity. “They haven't changed a bit in all these years. They are truly marvelous people. There are not enough like them in the world.”
