The
'UW-Green Bay Primary'
The state of Wisconsin's decision to move its presidential primary to February,
the city of Green Bay's position as an important media market, and large and
politically engaged crowds brought a windfall of national visibility for the
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Four leading Democratic presidential candidates
made appearances on campus. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, North Carolina
Sen. John Edwards, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (pictured below), his fellow
senator and supporter Ted Kennedy and Gen. Wesley Clark
all made campaign stops on campus. Said student leader Nathanel Isaacson, who
introduced the Kerry rally, "The most rewarding thing was the way it energized
the students."

Green Bay's Pakistan project begins this week
Scheduled to arrive in Green Bay Saturday was a delegation of educators from
Pakistan here to work with UW-Green Bay students and faculty and to study best
practices in local schools. "Pakistan has suffered from several periods
of instability, and education has suffered as a result," says Fritz Erickson,
UW-Green Bay dean. Erickson, who toured schools (photo of class above) in Pakistan
last year, says local citizens are helping facilitate the visit.
