UW-Green Bay —
the place to be
Count those already here — Jerry Seinfeld, John Kerry (twice), Sharon
Stone, Michael Moore, Edward Kennedy, Ralph Nader — and those yet
to come — Maya Angelou, Madeleine Albright, David Copperfield, Joan
Rivers, and many others, and the conclusion could be made that UW-Green
Bay is the place to be! Of course, we've known that for years!

A challenge awaits
UW-Green Bay came in dead last compared to its UW peers with only 6 percent
of its alums "giving back." Help us move up the ranks with a small donation
during the annual Alumni Phone-a-thon. The format is different —
alumni will be called one week each month during the academic year based
on area of study. The need hasn't changed — proceeds go to scholarships
and academic programs. Private support makes a good University great!
