John Pfitsch Endowed Memorial Prize
This fund was established in 2013 with gifts made in memory of John Pfitsch. The Pfitsch Prize will be awarded each year to a student who embodies the hallmarks of John Pfitsch’s character. This is an endowed fund to recognize those individuals who best emulate John Pfitsch and his dedication and commitment to ƽ for over 50 years. The late John Pfitsch, whose name has been synonymous with ƽ athletics since 1948, takes length-of-service honors hands-down. Brought to ƽ primarily as a basketball mentor, Pfitsch coached or substituted in virtually every sport during a 47-year career. Even after retirement, he directed the men's soccer program.
The successful student will be a junior and embody the following:
- leadership
- a passion for ƽ
- diverse and varied interests — embodiment of a lifelong learner
- caring and compassion for fellow human beings
- integrity — a person of his/her/their “word”
