		@lumni Newsletter October 2003 [ Alumni News \| Alumni Events \| Class Notes ] Alumni News Don't miss the first-ever UW-Green Bay Alumnifest — October 18! You're invited to the first annual UW-Green Bay Alumnifest. Delight your palette with a German buffet, get your toes tappin' to music by "Rocker," and hang out with the other people that know your University intimately. There will be a silent auction, a cash bar, and more. Best of all, the event is absolutely free, thanks to sponsorship by your Alumni Association. Call Mark and mark your calendars right now! Alumnifest begins at 6 p.m. Saturday, October 18 in the Phoenix Rooms of the University Union. For more information, contact Director of Donor and Alumni Relations Mark Brunette at (920) 465-2586 or via e-mail at alumni@uwgb.edu. Isn't that the guy…? It sure is. Mark's back. Mark Brunette '85 is the returning director of donor and alumni relations. The business administration graduate previously served as UW-Green Bay's alumni director from 1991-1996. He replaces Shane Kohl '96, who becomes the University's director of annual giving. Freshman move-in day a huge success When you moved onto campus as a freshman, did the Chancellor help carry your stereo (8-tracks?) up to your room? Probably not. But today, thanks to Residence Life personnel and hundreds of faculty, staff and current students, Freshman Move-In Day is quite the scene. For photos of the event, follow the link to http://www.uwgb.edu/univcomm/news/photoarch/events/03movein.htm. Worst roommate stories...follow-up Last month we asked for some of your worst roommate stories … and you responded. Many were the typical — dirty dishes, bad laundry habits, loud snoring, bad taste in music, sleepwalking, food thievery. A few were petty (one roommate became angry when her roomies dulled her No. 2 pencils and didn't sharpen them). The nerve! A few were downright disgusting (sorry, can't share in this space.) The most annoying seemed to be extended visits (sometimes semester-long) by hometown friends. At least we can laugh about it now …. Can't we? This month's online question — toughest faculty member This month, we want to know who your toughest professor was while at UW-Green Bay. We're not looking for the one you considered meanest or most unfair. We want the names of faculty that challenged and inspired you. Feel free to e-mail us at alumni@uwgb.edu and we'll post a few responses in the next issue of the @lumni Newsletter.
