  • Commencement
    COMMENCEMENT University of Wisconsin-Whitewater December 19, 2020 More than 150 years ago, on April 21, 1868, the state’s second normal school opened its doors to the first class of 48 students and nine faculty members. A progressive spirit guided the development of the institution as it evolved from a normal school, which trained teachers for one-room schools, to Whitewater State Teachers College (1927), Wisconsin State College-Whitewater (1951), Wisconsin State University-Whitewater (1964) and as a member of the 13 four-year institutions in the University of Wisconsin System (1971). Today, UW-Whitewater is a leading comprehensive university serving approximately 11,842 full- and part-time students with 50 undergraduate majors, 13 master’s degree programs, one doctoral degree and one education specialist degree in the colleges of Arts and Communication, Business and Economics, Education and Professional Studies, Integrated Studies, and Letters and Sciences. The university awards more than 2,700 degrees every year. Throughout its history, UW-Whitewater has produced graduates who have actively contributed to the growth of the state and nation. Student learning is the paramount focus of the university’s programs and services. The university takes pride in its regional leadership, national presence and global vision. Many of its academic programs are among the best in the country. 1 Student Speaker Brian Martinez For Brian Martinez, becoming a Warhawk meant finding a place to plant roots. When he visited campus as a transfer student from another Wisconsin university, UW-Whitewater felt like an inclusive family, where everyone belonged — a place that put people first.

  • Foreign Consular Offices in the United States
    United States Department of State Foreign Consular Offices in the United States Summer 2007 FOREIGN CONSULAR OFFICES IN THE UNITED STATES, 2007 i PREFACE This publication contains a complete and official listing of the foreign consular offices in the United States, and recognized consular officers. Compiled by the U.S. Department of State, with the full cooperation of the foreign missions in Washington, it is offered as a convenience to organizations and persons who must deal with consular representatives of foreign governments. It has been designed with particular attention to the requirements of government agencies, state tax officials, international trade organizations, chambers of commerce, and judicial authorities who have a continuing need for handy access to this type of information. Trade with other regions of the world has become an increasingly vital element in the economy of the United States. The machinery of this essential commerce is complicated by numerous restrictions, license requirements, quotas, and other measures adopted by the individual countries. Since the regulations affecting both trade and travel are the particular province of the consular service of the nations involved, reliable information as to entrance requirements, consignment of goods, details of transshipment, and, in many instances, suggestions as to consumer needs and preferences may be obtained at the foreign consular offices throughout the United States. Note: Changes occur daily. Status of persons listed in this publication should be verified with the Office of Protocol. IMMUNITIES ACCORDED TO CONSULAR OFFICERS Consular officers should be accorded their respective privileges, rights, and immunities as directed by international and domestic law. These foreign officials should be treated with the courtesy and respect befitting their positions.

  • Confederate Monuments After Charlottesville
    History and Heritage, Memory and Memorialization: Confederate Monuments After Charlottesville What follows is not a single article or excerpt from a book. It is not even officially a “scholarly” text. However this collection of articles, interviews, and statements made by historians in the wake of the events in Charlottesville, VA give important insight into the work of historians and the relationship we navigate between past and present. When reading these, you’ll discover the opinions in the collection are conflicting, I have done this intentionally because the debate over these monuments and the history they represent is just that, a debate, and you should hear a variety of perspectives before you determine your own. Consider as you read the question at hand in this moment: whether Confederate monuments and symbols should remain, be reinterpreted, or be removed. But also reflect upon the larger questions about how we understand history and heritage, what it means to have historical memory, and whether memory is different from memorialization. Gregory S. Bucher, “Quis Furor, O Cives? A Plea for Preserving Historical Monuments” National Review (August 2017) Gregory S. Bucher was formerly a professor of classical and Near Eastern studies at Creighton University. We should learn from the ancient Romans, who had ample experience with civil war. Some years ago, before we as a nation started punching ourselves in the face by moving to excise Confederate monuments from our public spaces and thereby destroy a part of our cultural patrimony, I studied a marble Roman portrait of the first emperor, Augustus, in the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha.
