Three can do the CHA CHA UW-Green Bay Prof. Ryan Martin (Psychology), his dance partner and coach Mina Witte, and Phlash, proved that three can do the Cha Cha. That’s right — Phlash made a surprise appearance at the Dancing with Our Stars ballroom dancing competition, held in February. It was the culminating event for Martin’s six months of dance les- sons and fundraising efforts with the Northeast Wisconsin American Red Cross. Martin and his fundraising team (Kimberly Vlies, Jena Richter Landers, Jen Jones, Sara Schmitz, Janet Bonkowski and Molly Vandervest) raised $22,000. The UW-Green Bay Red Cross Club and the UW-Green Bay Psychology Club led fundraising efforts, as well. About 80 supporters — both friends from campus and the community — attended the dance-off, prompting one judge to mention that like Martin, she wished she could bring her own cheering section to competitive events.

The organizers, many of whom are associated with UW-Green Bay, say the 80-event festival was a tremen- dous success. From writer’s workshops, bookbinding classes and panel discussions to author readings, book signings, the launch of UW-Green Bay’s literary journal — The Sheepshead Review — and more, each event met or exceeded attendance expectations. UW-Green Bay Prof. Rebecca Meacham was a founding board member and festival chairperson. “I am delighted, but not entirely surprised, by the demon- strated hunger for reading, writing and making community connections here in Northeastern Wisconsin,” she said. The Festival’s final keynote presentations by acclaimed authors Sherman Alexie and Margaret Atwood were attended by more than 1,200 event-goers. Brian Simons ’98, Wendy Schuchart ’98 and Morgan Lynn Bloohm ’08 were three of the many alumni who con- tributed to event planning and organization. Other faculty, staff and students played key roles in the festival, as well. Plans are to make UntitledTown an annual event.

Metropolis’ Musical Masterminds One can appreciate the challenge to prepare music students to perform a world-premiere film score. When the music shifts from traditional sounds and lyrics, the stakes get even higher. UW-Green Bay music and band students had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform an original film score for a sci-fi masterpiece, Metropolis. The score was developed by Music Professor Michelle McQuade Dewhirst. Professor Kevin Collins directed the UW-Green Bay Wind Ensemble and Studio Orchestra and Professor Randall Meder led the Chorale for the epic multimedia presen- tation at the Weidner Center, in April. The mega-performance required extensive practice, and performers and directors were rewarded with a exuberant standing ovation following the one-night show.

The exhibit coincided with the visit of Liza Don- nelly, cartoonist for The New Yorker, as part of the Historical Perspectives Lecture Series. Don- nelly spent some time in the 407 Gallery with Staudinger and a few students to take in the exhibit. Donnelly said she found that she could make people laugh with her drawings, and later discovered the power of visual stories and the voice of her own opinions — current events and politics, often the target of her messages. Staudinger espoused interdisciplinary projects like “An Age in Ink” to expand the capacity of both instructors and students to think differently about subjects that they may typically under- stand from one perspective only.

Be social, especially with your fellow UWGB Alums…
