Alumni News
Hey generous business majors, you're up!
Student callers for the Alumni Phone-a-Thon turn their attention in February to those alums with majors in business administration, accounting, managerial accounting, managerial systems and a master's degree in administrative science — typically the University's most generous donors! Student callers will be on the phones from 6 to 8:45 p.m. CST, February 20-28, in the hopes of reaching nearly 4,000 alumni. Callers will be updating alumni information and asking you to invest in your alma mater. Have questions on the Phone-a-Thon? Contact Shane Kohl at (920) 465-2018, via e-mail at kohls@uwgb.edu, or visit the Web site at www.uwgb.edu/phoneathon.
'Good news, bad news' from the Capitol
The biggest news out of the state Capitol lately is in the details of
the state budget proposal Gov. Jim Doyle unveiled Feb. 8. For the UW System
and UW-Green Bay, the budget is a "good news, bad news" story. While the
proposal reverses a decade-long trend of declining taxpayer support for
the system, it also makes deep cuts in non-instructional portions of the
budget. That means students can expect longer lines, shorter hours and
other impacts on a variety of important services. Those interested in
more detail can read Chancellor Shepard's message to the campus at http://www.uwgb.edu/chancellor/remarks/email11.htm.
Campus connects with Associated Bank
Paul Beideman, CEO of Associated Bank-Corp, and nearly 30 UWGB alumni
working for Associated Bank, welcomed Chancellor Shepard and a UW-Green
Bay contingency for an Alumni Business Reception last week in downtown
Green Bay. Graduates spanning 26 years included Dan Miller '78, president
of Associated Bank, Shawano, and Christina Jerschele '04, an investment
intern. UW-Green Bay and Associated Bank have a long history of working
together. Associated Bank (Kellogg Bank in the mid-1960s) was an important
regional lobbyist in helping to expand the University from a two- to four-year
campus. Associated Bank recently made its most sizeable-ever donation
to the UW-Green Bay Capital Campaign to aid in the expansion of the Phoenix
Sports Center. The evening also began discussions for new opportunities
in the making that will increase student internships and graduate employment
opportunities. If your business is interested in hosting a reception,
please contact Mark Brunette, director of Alumni Relations, at (920) 465-2586,
or alumni@uwgb.edu.

Top 25 for Phoenix women!

a particular organization. To become involved, or read more go to http://www.uwgb.edu/careers/Phoenix_Info.htm.
