Alexander H. Reeder Memorial Fund
The Alexander H. Reeder Memorial Fund awards an annual scholarship to an ROTC cadet in honor of Alexander H. Reeder, who passed away in 2014. The selected recipient will be a cadet who best exemplifies balanced strength in the areas of scholarship, athletics and leadership, and who passionately supports “the team.” These are all characteristics that Alex will be remembered for.
Reeder’s Ruck March
The Ranger Club and the ROTC program at UW-Stevens Point hosted an 8-mile ruck march/walk each spring in order to raise funds in support of the Alex Reeder Memorial Scholarship Endowment.
