Annual Report Issue NOVEMBER 2010 Notes from 2420 Nicolet… Making a fine University even better

Greetings from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay! This issue of Inside includes plenty of good news. From the list of nearly 2,500 people who support this institution on an annual basis… to reports on new facilities (Wood and Rose Hall remodeling) and academic initiatives (the Austin E. Cofrin School of Business)… to our famous Phuture Phoenix program welcoming its first freshman “graduates,” it has been an eventful fall semester. (Congratulations to Phuture Phoenix co-founder and good friend Ginny Riopelle, who is also leading the charge to raise scholarship funds for these students.) With the new year, our attention turns to building on that success. With input from 282 faculty, staff, students and members of the community in more than a dozen listening sessions last spring, we have finalized themes to guide our comprehensive strategic planning. In Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Business and Finance, Advancement, Athletics, and the Chancellor’s Office, our planning will reflect these priorities. Briefly, and in alphabetical order, the themes are: • Academic Programs and Enrollment • Commitment to Community • Diversity and Institutional Environment • Finance, Budget and Resources • Identity, Image, Marketing • Meeting the Needs of Students • Sustainability Those are the themes, fairly general in nature. The specifics will come with our focused plans for 2011. I encourage you to read more about strategic planning and follow our progress at my website, www.uwgb.edu/chancellor/. Thank you for your continuing interest in our University. And, remember, Go Phoenix!

Before I came back to school, I was familiar with Outlook Web Access, exchange servers and cloud-based portals, but had no prior experience with programs like D2L.

The new January Interim will run from the 3rd through the 21st and be completely online. Students can select from roughly a dozen courses (see list below). Many alumni will recall that the original January Interim was eliminated during the early 1990s as a cost-cut- ting measure. However, with the increasing popularity of online classes, the revival of January Interim is one way the University is trying to help reach UW System goals for increasing the four-year graduation rate.

26 November 2010 Annual Report

Philanthropists SUCCESS WAS SWEET for Phuture Phoenix in 2009-10, with the continued ascent of the much-imitated program. The University welcomed its first class of “Phuture Phoenix Freshmen” Phuture— enrollees from that initialPhoenix cohort of Green Bay fifth-graders who first visited campus seven years ago. Among them was Ka Vang (left), who returned the favor by serving as a college-age mentor and tour guide during Phuture Phoenix Day fall 2010. Donor generosity made possible the program’s first scholarships. (Listed below are contributors to programming and scholarships during the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.) Phuture Phoenix has proven so successful that it has been replicated at Western Washington University and UW-Eau Claire, and will be soon at Silver Lake College in Manitowoc. Educators seek to emulate the Green Bay model of pairing children from low-income school districts with college mentors as a way to boost educational aspirations.

40 November 2010 Giving is made easy for Danny and Casie UW-Green Bay is such a big via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). Consider a gift and check out EFT at part of my identity, it’s my way of www.uwgb.edu/giving giving back

Recent UW-Green Bay graduates, Danny and Casie (Rindfleisch) Schulz didn’t take the traditional giving route — waiting until they are “well off” or retired to give back.

In fact, they are the youngest couple, ever, to start a scholarship fund at UW-Green Bay.

Casie ̓06 is a school psychologist and counselor with the Port Washington-Saukville School District. Danny ̓05 is a sales and property tax accountant with the Vollrath Company, Sheboygan. Their gift, the Schulz Family Scholarship, will create two scholarships in their respective majors.

Says Danny… “I have always felt an obligation to give back to my community. Even though I now live in Sheboygan, UWGB is a pretty big part of my life and identity, and I felt this is something I always wanted to be able to do. Casie and I have been surprised at how easy the process has been. We hope to make the financial side of college easier for students. To be able to do it at this point in our lives is just a blessing and lets us help out more students over time.” University of Wisconsin-Green Bay 2420 Nicolet Drive Green Bay, WI 54311-7001

P.S.P.S. ‘Project Runway’ meets ‘Home Improvement’

One of the most popular competitions of 2010 was the Fashion Design Show organized by the Office of Student Life. The only sticking point? The “fabric” had to be duct tape. Jonathan Hensley (left) wrapped up first place by rolling out this stylish creation in classic silver.
