When Jolene Anderson went off in pursuit of her dreams of playing professional basketball, she made a promise to her coach, Lisa Stone.
She’s making good on that promise this summer, as she has returned to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to get the three credits she needs to earn her degree in sociology.
“It’s very important for me to graduate from the University of Wisconsin,” said Anderson, the leading career scorer in UW history — male or female — with 2,312 points. “If I didn’t come back this summer, I don’t know how far along the line I would’ve gotten before I came back.”
