UW-Madison journalism alumnus Cliff Behnke returned to his student paper, The Daily Cardinal, in a new role in the 1990s, joining the board after the paper encountered a financial crisis. Behnke and others tackled the demanding and time-consuming job of restoring the Cardinal to stability and assuring its future as a training ground for college journalists, said Jeff Smoller, a fellow board member. “The Daily Cardinal is there today in large part due to Cliff Behnke’s steadfastness and caring,” he said.
