| Thanks, Mary and Marquis . . . The Alumni Relations Office reports a nice turnout at the "Friend and Foe" reception prior to the UW-Milwaukee – UW-Green Bay women's basketball showdown at the Kress Center in March. The big crowd (3,000-plus) saw a thrilling Phoenix win, and an impressive halftime victory by Mary Kulenkamp '06 (who now works on campus in Admissions as an enrollment services specialist). Shhhh - don't tell UWM, but Mary is a former Phoenix basketball star. Just a week or two earlier, Marquis Hines '90, also a former Phoenix basketball alumnus took the halftime crown at a UW-Milwaukee alumni event. Check out the photo gallery for pictures of these and other Alumni Association events. |

Remembering UW-Green Bay friend Jerome Quinn
Jerome Quinn, 99, died Friday, Feb. 29 in Green Bay. A member of the city council, county board and board of education, he was perhaps best known as a 20-year representative in the State Assembly, where he was an advocate for locating the new UW campus in Green Bay. His son told the Green Bay Press-Gazette, "(They) got it here and that created a lot of jobs, and meant a lot to a lot of these students through the years." Go to the Press-Gazette article.

Prof. Anne Kok commemorated The State Assembly passed a resolution in March commending the life and work of the late Anne Kok, a social work faculty member who died in a car accident in February. The resolution noted her public service to the world (Peace Corps and international outreach, to Wisconsin (as a social work educator), and to Door County (as a citizen and former director of a local crisis center). |
