Walter P. Sheppard (PhD '64) received his PhD in 1964 from the (old) Department of Speech. "Even though I already had BS and MS degrees, I have always felt that my real education came from my years at Wisconsin," he reports. His major field was broadcasting, and has spent most of his career in management positions in public radio and television. He is now a Program Officer in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in the US Department of Commerce. He works in administering a competitive grants program that assists public radio and television stations purchase equipment. WHA radio and television and other public stations around the state have had many grants from the program.
