"UW Spirit Day," will be held across the state on Friday, May 7, to showcase and celebrate the contributions of the nearly 500,000 UW alumni who live and work in Wisconsin. Help us raise awareness and the importance that UW-Green Bay and all UW System graduates bring to our businesses, communities and the state as a whole. Wear a UWGB polo shirt, sweatshirt or school colors to bring attention to your alma mater. For more, visit the Statewide Spirit Web site: http://www.wisconsin.edu/spirit/.

Summer camps sizzle with alumni energy
The forecast for summer: sunny, fun and educational, with plenty of opportunities for young people of all ages at UW-Green Bay.
With Mona Christensen '80 and '96 directing the show, the University's Summer Camp program is guaranteed to be creative, and it is. The traditional lineup of art, band, orchestra and choral camps is joined by sessions for science, Spanish, gospel choir and any number of options. Along with the one-week camps for high school and middle school, you'll also find "Discovery" and "Pre-Discovery" day camps for pre-school through sixth grade.
Mona reports that many people — including a fair number of fellow alumni who want only the best, at the best university, for their children — are finding the site and registering online. (We're No. 2 on Google when searching "summer camps Wisconsin.") Join the crowd at www.uwgbsummercamps.com.
