In recognition of her outstanding academic performance and leadership, Jannene graduated with honors. Before attending GSB, she was awarded the $4,500 Prochnow Educational Foundation/Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) Scholarship. Additionally, she earned a Certificate of Executive Leadership from the Wisconsin School of Business Center for Professional and Executive Development, recognizing her completion of the rigorous GSB leadership curriculum. This certificate represents the highest level of certificate offered by the school.

Jannene served as the Vice President of the Class of 2024, a role that demonstrated her commitment to the growth and development of her peers. As a Class Officer, she played an integral part in fostering a collaborative and enriching learning environment for her fellow students. “I am honored to have served as Vice President of my class. It’s a privilege to donate the remaining funds from our class dues back to the Prochnow Educational Foundation, so that someone else may benefit from this scholarship as I did. I am deeply thankful to AbbyBank for their support and for providing me with this incredible opportunity," said Jannene.

The School, sponsored by state bankers’ associations from across the central United States, as well as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was established in 1945 to provide bankers with an opportunity for advanced study and research in banking, economics, and leadership. Instruction at the Graduate School of Banking takes place during two-week resident sessions over three consecutive summers, along with comprehensive study between sessions. The curriculum focuses on the management of strategic issues faced by banking executives and financial services industry professionals.

The Graduate School of Banking enrolls approximately 600 U.S. and international professionals each year. More than 85 esteemed academicians, economists, government officials, and industry professionals comprise the School’s faculty.
