With the University capping its largest capital campaign ever, at $30 million, learn why students andMillion-Dollar grads are bound to benefit Smiles Annual Report Issue DECEMBER 2009 Notes from 2420 Nicolet… Surrounded by good friends, we look for great things ahead

Greetings from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay! As of this writing I have served about six months as chancellor. I’m not yet to the point where people entirely stop calling me “the new guy,” but I’ve been here long enough to feel fully at home. My wife, Cathy, and I have been genuinely touched by the warm and supportive welcome. Family members who traveled here in October for my formal installation (that’s some of them, but not all, surrounding us below) noticed the same thing. They congratulated us on our good fortune in joining a community that believes so passionately in its public university. Please see the list of contributors to the just-concluded $30 million capital campaign, and the names of nearly 2,500 community leaders, alumni, employees and partners who support this institution on an annual basis. They help make UW-Green Bay a special university. I came to Green Bay after a decade with a university that is exactly the same age, 40 years old this fall, so I know the challenges of a growing institution. That UW-Green Bay is so far along is a tribute to the people of this region and all who support its mission. We face significant challenges, of course. In addressing faculty and staff to open the school year, I noted that public expectations for American higher education have never been greater. Degree completion, access, cost containment, job development and economic development are critical issues. What’s more, enrollment demand is rising at the same time severe recession is squeezing resources and battering our region. It can be hard to be an optimist. Yet, as I said in my remarks to campus, things cycle, and they cycle faster for those who are optimistic and anticipate the opportunities. Having good friends helps, too. That’s why I believe we are on the precipice of even greater things coming to and coming out of UWGB. I look forward to working with you.

The Fort Howard collection (including the photos and marketing samples shown here) is available for review, upon appointment, at the Area Research Center on the library’s seventh floor. Records extend from the company’s founding to just prior to consolidation with James River and, later, Georgia-Pacific, which runs the Green Bay mill today.

Fortunately for UW-Green Bay, the non-traditional student who spent an on-and-off decade piling up credits at the new Univer- sity and its forerunner, the two-year Green Bay center, wasn’t done yet.

Her $1.5 million donation was the first major gift announced for the Campaign for UW-Green Bay. She funded the John P. Blair Endowed Chair in Communication — which Meyer now holds — to honor her late husband, a Madison Avenue executive with Wisconsin ties who helped develop the business model that would fuel TV’s “Golden Age” boom in the 1950s. Annual interest from the Blair endowment helps under- write advanced research and an additional faculty position in Meyer’s area. Students benefit from new courses, more and smaller sections in existing courses, and expanded internship and research opportunities. Named Endowments, Professorships An endowment is a permanent fund that is invested to earn income to support a specific area or the greater needs of the institution as a whole. The principal is protected. Endowment earnings support a wide array of programs and activities. Many student scholarship funds (page 6) are endowments.

Things took a turn for the better in spring 2000. Student representatives agreed to a fee increase to fund future PSC and Union expansion.

10 December 2009 Carol’s Court honors model volunteer, citizen and friend The home floor at the Kress Events Center is named “Carol’s Court” to honor one of Phoenix women’s basketball’s biggest fans, Carol Bush. She and her husband, Robert, (above) have a long relationship with UW-Green Bay and its athletic teams. Capping decades of philanthropic generosity, the couple made a major gift to kick-start pri- vate fundraising for the community’s one-third share of the $33 million Kress Events Center. The ribbon-cutting for the first basketball game at the 4,000-seat facil- ity took place Nov. 3, 2007. It was Bob Bush’s recommendation — and a surprise to his wife and others — that the court was named in her honor when UW-Green Bay sought to acknowledge their leadership gift. Bob Bush is the retired chairman, CEO and president of Schreiber Foods, and he currently serves as an officer of the Chancellor’s Council of Trustees. Carol Bush is widely known for her work as a philan- thropist and community leader, in particular on behalf of the fine arts, education and family and children’s issues. Said former chancellor Bruce Shepard, “We honor Carol Bush for modeling volunteerism, citizenship and friendship.” Loud and clear, gift was tribute to mom CampaignWhen Alvina Hintz passed wins: away just shy of her 102nd birthday, her daughter Ceil took Now, so does this one steps to pay lasting tribute.

26 December 2009 Annual Report

Philanthropists LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL recognition in the form of donations, awards and outside grants made the 2008-09 academic year another banner one for UW-Green Bay’s Phuture PhuturePhoenix program. Phoenix Community supporters made possible an impressive gain in annual giving. (Listed below are contributors during the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009). Donors also established the first Phuture Phoenix scholarships, ready to serve children from the program’s earliest years who will begin enrolling as freshmen in fall 2010. (See page 6 for a listing of Phuture Phoenix-related scholarships.) In addition, high praise arrived in the form of a $125,000 grant from the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation. The grant will help replicate Phuture Phoenix at UW-Eau Claire. Officials there want to apply the Green Bay model of pairing fifth-graders from low-income school districts with college mentors as a way to boost educational aspirations.
