Alumni News
Alumni Phone-A-Thon UpdateThe UW-Green Bay Alumni Phone-A-Thon is underway and the numbers seem to indicate a record year in the making. The annual event, which runs until March 15, allows the University to update address and career information while allowing graduates the opportunity to contribute financially to their alma mater. If you have gotten "the call," thank you for taking the time to speak with the students. Your information and contributions really make a difference.
For more information, please feel free to contact Julie Curro, Director of Annual Giving, at curroj@uwgb.edu.
