Please Join Dean Scott Gronert, College of Letters and Science; Dean Kaushal Chari, Sheldon B. Lubar College of Business; and John Heywood, Director, Master of Human Resources and Labor Relations to celebrate 37 years of the Melvin and Lois Lurie Memorial Prize. This prize honors an outstanding MHRLR student and the 27th Labor-Management Cooperation prize winner: The Wisconsin Building Trades and Major Electric Utilities.

We will be following all CDC and City of Milwaukee COVID guidelines.

Melvin Lurie (1923-1987) was a beloved professor of economics at 51ÁÔÆæ and founder of this Masters program. Professor Lurie’s vision was to create a course of study that instills its graduates with the desire to build cooperative relationships between labor and management. With its grounding in both the liberal arts and business administration, graduates obtain the educational underpinnings so critical to the real world of human resource and labor relations practitioners.

The Melvin Lurie Memorial Fund provides an annual prize to a student who has demonstrated commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and has achieved academic excellence in completing the Masters Program in Human Resources and Labor Relations. The Fund also honors alumni or members of the Wisconsin labor- management community for outstanding service in the cause of promoting, creating or researching labor-management cooperation.

The MHRLR Outreach Fund supports non- academic program initiatives that benefit students, alumni, faculty, and leaders in the labor and management communities. The Fund, for example, sponsors speakers and supports a newsletter, an alumni directory and the annual Melvin Lurie Memorial Prize Ceremony.

Andrew Stark described his employment trajectory at Molson Coors and his increasing involvement with the union.  The local president for the last nine years, he felt the need for greater education and came to MHRLR.  He expressed concern that his background from organized labor would not fit in. Instead, he found his views and leadership were greatly appreciated in our classrooms and his performance was superb.

Katerina Ekonomou relocated from a small Greek community and described how the MHRLR degree was essential to beginning a human resources career.  Not only did she credit the program with providing a well-rounded perspective on human resources functions, but it helped her gain confidence and convinced her that hard work can make dreams come true.  She loved the opportunity to learn from others and to exhibit her own leadership.  She now works in HR at Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.
