John Rosentrater Act of Valor Award

Nebraska Wesleyan University’s John Rosentrater Act of Valor Award recognizes NWU 校友 whose heroic service falls beyond the call of duty. These 校友 include members of the military, 警察, fire services and others who put their lives at risk in order to save another person. This award honors recipients’ outstanding courage and selflessness in the face of danger.

The award is named in honor of John Rosentrater, a decorated World War I hero and NWU professor of philosophy from 1936 to 1960. Late Professor of History David Mickey (’39) once wrote that Rosentrater was “one of those giants who, 不时地, walks upon this earth.” His service in France earned him the World War I Victory Medal, 紫心勋章, three Bronze Stars and a nomination for the 荣誉勋章, the country’s highest military award.
