Hans came to America from Vienna, Austria. In Reno he studied w88 in a university stint that was interrupted by World War II. He was then hired by Exxon and spent part of his career in South America, Spain, Belgium and Poland. After his retirement from Exxon, Hans took a position with First Interstate Bank that enabled him to become one of the most active members of the community. At the university, Hans has given as much of himself to his alma mater as any individual can. Whether it is the medical school, the business college, intercollegiate athletics or the alumni association, Hans coordinates his schedule so that each of these areas receives his full attention, devotion and love. In recognition of these efforts, the University awarded Hans the President's Medal for his distinguished service and commitment. This scholarship account is created with a gift from his wife, Mimi. The intent is to build the fund to the ,000 level to endow the fund in perpetuity.
