Scholarship
Golf Outing — June 9 |
UW-Green Bay:
Next two exits
Generations of UW-Green Bay alumni who commuted to campus via the "back
door" on Bay Settlement Road — navigating a busy highway crossing
to do so — might be interested to learn their favorite route is
now faster, fancier and safer. An upgrade of Highway 54-57 bordering campus
has added an overpass and ramps at the new Bay Settlement interchange.
The new 54-57 exit is labeled County Road "EA," short for Eastern Arterial.
Bay Settlement now connects to Huron Road and a fresh stretch of four-lane
bisecting Green Bay's rapidly developing far-east side to Bellevue.
Lucky 13: NEW ERA
card opens library doors
The Northeast Wisconsin Educational Resource Alliance is opening its libraries
to the community. From the College of Menominee Nation on the west, to
the two-year campuses in Marinette, Manitowoc and Sheboygan on the east
and including the four-year UW campuses in Green Bay and Oshkosh as well
as area technical colleges, the cards grant library privileges at each
of 13 NEW ERA institutions. Access Coordinator Emily Rogers at UW-Green
Bay, says more than 300 of the community cards have already been distributed
here. For more information e-mail Rogers at rogerse@uwgb.edu.
New in fall: Arabic
language
An opportunity to learn the language spoken by almost 200 million people
in 22 countries comes to campus next fall with the first offering of Beginning
Arabic I. The course, a distance-learning offering of a UW System consortium,
will be video-cast on campus Monday through Thursdays mornings. The Modern
Languages Office at UW-Green Bay, (920) 465-2348, has details.

By ink and air, students claim top honors
Earlier we learned The Fourth Estate won top honors for overall
excellence in its division. Not to be outdone, student broadcasters were
honored by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association for their work on Phlash
TV, a cable television channel operated by the Office of Residence Life.
The Fourth Estate distributes 3,000 copies each week on campus
and in the community. Phlash TV is available to 2,000 students living
in UW-Green Bay residence halls and has plans to expand to other campus
sites.
