John Ruffatto Memorial Award

The $3,500 John Ruffatto Memorial Award was established to encourage and reward UM faculty members who impart practical, applicable principles into their classroom presentation. When Ruffatto, a retired Missoula financial consultant, and his friends and colleagues created the award in 1990, they did so to solidify the interdependent relationship between business in this area and The University of Montana.
