 ern Horn, Professor of home economics at UW-SP since 1966, has been granted retirement status.
She has been on leave of absence the past year because of illness, though she taught extension courses
in Milwaukee where she now resides.
In recognition of her contributions to the home economics profession, the University of Wisconsin-Stout presented her with
its alumni distinguished service award on Aug. 1. The citation, of which several are given each year, is the highest to
graduates of Stout.
Professor Horn, a native of Chili near Marshfield, attended UW-Stevens Point and received a two-year certificate in
1943. She subsequently taught in rural schools in Clark County three years before returning to UW-SP and completing work
for a bachelor's degree.
Her 37 years in education have also included teaching home economics on the high school level in Oxford, Wonewoc, Mosinee,
Schofield, and Eau Claire.
A master's degree in home economics education was presented to her by UW- Stout followed by a doctorate from Michigan State
University on 1959. While a faculty member at UW-Stout, she was acting dean of the home economics program there for two
years. From 1963 to 1966, she was on the faculty of the University of Minnesota.
As a specialist on home economics curriculum development, she has been a consultant for the U.S. Office of Education and the
education departments of several states. The American Home Economics Association cited her last year for serving as a
member of its council for professional development. She has represented the association at international gatherings in
Helsinki, Finland, and Ottawa, Canada.
Her published writing includes a booklet completed about six years ago in cooperation with UW-SP colleague, Anita Barsness,
entitled "Development of Instructional Materials for Use by Home Economics Teachers."
