Wayne State College and the Wayne State Foundation recognized the Riedmann family as the recipient of the 2026 Family of the Year Award.
Now in its second year, the award recognizes a family whose commitment to Wayne State spans generations and reflects the spirit of the Wildcat community through student involvement, service, engagement and lasting support of the College.
The Riedmann family's connection to Wayne State College stretches across several generations and includes graduates, former and current students, scholarship support, volunteer leadership and service to the College and Wayne community.
The family's relationship with Wayne State began with Al Riedmann Jr. and Shirley Riedmann, who were longtime supporters and promoters of the College.
The Riedmann's are the second family to receive Wayne State College's Family of the Year Award, which was established in 2025. The Carter "Cap" Peterson family of Wayne was selected as the inaugural recipient.
