Paul Ramseth (BS ’64, MA ’68, PhD ’18) became the oldest advisee (age 76) of storied professor Neal Nickerson (age 91) to complete his degree last fall, a story featured in “The Door is Open” in the spring/summer issue of Connect. Ramseth was the quarterback for the Gopher football team that won the Rose Bowl in 1961 and went on to a career in education and then financial services. He returned for his doctorate while volunteering in schools after his retirement. Ramseth was also Nickerson’s second-to-last advisee to finish, just before Amy Hamborg (PhD ’18), principal at E. P. Rock Elementary School in Hudson, Wisconsin. Hamborg and Ramseth received their doctoral hoods from Nickerson and U of M Principal in Residence Katie Pekel at commencement ceremonies May 8.
