Harry and Jo Thiel "Red Line" Scholarship Fund
The Harry and Jo Thiel "Red Line" Scholarship was established in 2015 in honor of Harry, the Vidette GM from 1976-1996, and his wife Jo, who together guided countless Vidette staffers in journalism and life. The "Red Line" refers to the enduring and endearing red pen Harry used to provide journalistic tutelage to all Vidette staffers who served during his extremely influential ISU career. Harry's red pen taught many as much about reporting and writing as any other journalistic experience.
