UW-Rock County Foundation Alumni Awareness Award

Janesville – Jenny (Consigny) McMullen was selected as the recipient of the December 2008 Alumni Awareness Award presented by the UW-Rock County Foundation.

The Alumni Awareness Award, first presented in September 2008, was created to honor UW-Rock County alumni or former students who are recognized for their expertise and good works. These notable people must have attended UW-Rock County for at least one year, completed a higher education degree and distinguished themselves through achievements and service or contributions to Rock County, where they live and work.

McMullen, a registered nurse for the Milton Dean Clinic since 1996, first became a student at UW-Rock County in 1981. She went on to complete her bachelor’s degree in nursing from UW-Madison in 1985. She began her nursing career by returning to Janesville about 21 years ago.

While attending UW-Rock County, McMullen was involved in band and enjoyed small study groups. She counts among her most memorable experiences numerous courses with Charles Rust, a former UW-Rock County professor of biology. “Because I was interested in the field of nursing, I took lots of science courses,” says McMullen. “Professor Rust was difficult but he prepared me for the future. I learned how to study and developed a stick-to-it attitude. feel that UW-Rock County set the ground work for good study habits, which in turn allowed me success in Madison.”
