Alumni Page
Welcome to the Alumni Page! Microbiology alumni are scattered far and wide from California to New York and it can be hard to keep up with friends you made here at UWL. Check out the Alumni News section below to see what your fellow alumni are up to these days. If you have news of your own that you'd like to share, be it a new job or new family member, please use the alumni news form to send us your information and we'll post it for you.
Does the Microbiology Department have your information? Are you not sure? Has it recently changed? Please use our Alumni Update Form to make sure the department's information on you is current.
Is there someone that you'd like to get in touch with but you don't know where they are currently? If so, just send an e-mail to Bonnie Jo Bratina with your contact information, the name of the person you are trying to reach, and the year they graduated or when they were at UWL. If we have their contact information, we will pass your information on to them explaining that you'd like them to get in touch.

Andy Carlson (BS 1995) Received my Master's in Instruction in 2002 and I am now currently doing Instructional Systems Design work at the FBI Academy.
Ryan Endres (BS 1998) Currently, I'm working at UW Madison in the department of Ophthalmology at the Fundus Photograph Reading Center as the Lead Project Manager. I supervise a staff of 10 Clinical Project Managers who are running over 65 clinical trials. I also work for Walker Downey and Associates, a Regulatory and Project Management consulting firm, as a Senior Associate. Prior to coming to UW Madison I worked at PowderJect Vaccines, where I was fortunate to spend a few years in the lab to generate lots of great data that was then published in various journals before I moved into Project Management. I attribute my success in my career to UWL thanks to all of their fine teachers and staff. Link to my journal articles: http://www.walkerdowney.com/ryanendresresume.pdf
