The
Herbert Fisk Johnson Professorship in Environmental Studies was established
in 1985 by Samuel C. Johnson and his wife, Imogene Johnson of Racine.
It is named in honor of his father. Herbert Fisk Johnson was the grandson
of Samuel Curtis Johnson, founder of Johnson Wax Company. He led the company
to its present position as a world leader in the manufacture and marketing
of wax, wax products and other products produced by the company. Samuel
and Imogene Johnson were among the early supporters of UW-Green Bay and
have remained friends of the University over the years.
The award recognizes and gives support for a full professor who has demonstrated
a productive commitment to scholarship and/or outreach and whose work
exemplifies the spirit and mission of the University of Wisconsin-Green
Bay. The Johnson Professorship is designated for the areas of biological
or physical environmental studies and/or policy studies to environmental
issues.
