Lyon, Maas, Mueggler Outdoor Leadership Scholarship
TThe Lyon, Maas, Mueggler Outdoor Leadership Scholarship is named for three young men who died in an avalanche in the Bear River Range east of Logan on Jan. 12, 1997.
Max Lyon, Keith Maas, and Karl Mueggler were exceptional athletes, noted for their climbing, kayaking, and backcountry skiing abilities and many other outdoor talents. The true measure of their impact on the world, however, lay beyond their seemingly insatiable spirit of adventure. While they were alive, they took a leap beyond just adventure into that greater world of human richness, human imagination, human kindness, compassion, and commitment. They were always driven to somehow make a difference in whatever course their lives took at the moment. They weren't just adventurers: they were educators, outdoor activists, and voices for community, committed professionals and all-around good people. This scholarship is an attempt to continue that legacy.
The Lyon, Maas, Mueggler Outdoor Leadership Scholarship will be awarded annually to a person who seeks to make a difference in the world and whose character reflects the spirit of Max, Keith, and Karl.
