Delivering
‘thanks’ to a one-of-a-kind friend
Chancellor Bruce Shepard and family paid a special visit this summer to
Craig Mueller ‘71, a close friend of both the Shepards and the University.
Mueller, of San Diego, had been unable to travel to campus
in May when he was honored at spring commencement with the Chancellor’s
Award, the University’s highest community honor.
The retired air-transport pilot was recognized for his enthusiastic
advocacy of UW-Green Bay and his dedicated philanthropy on its behalf.
He established a substantial planned gift for student scholarships, made
a dollar-for-dollar match in the alumni phone-a-thon, and supported restoration
of historic Lambeau Cottage on the campus bayshore.
The chancellor, like Mueller an avid sailor, visited the
former Green Bay resident at his 51-foot sailboat Brushfire, built in
the likeness of America’s Cup winner Intrepid. (Son Paul, at far
right, also made the trip.) Shepard presented Mueller with the Chancellor’s
Award and a bit of Lambeau memorabilia: a framed copy of the remarks delivered
by Packers historian Lee Remmel at the cottage rededication last fall.
Congratulations to newly promoted professors
Nine UW-Green Bay faculty members were approved for promotions this summer.
Gaining the title of full professor was mathematician Tian-You Hu. Promoted
to associate professor with tenure were: Rosemary Christensen, Humanistic
Studies and First Nations Studies; Kaoime Malloy, Communication and the
Arts and Theatre; Uwe Pott, Human Biology and Biology; Laurel Phoenix,
Public and Environmental Affairs and Geography; Ellen Rosewall, Communication
and the Arts; Michael Zorn, Natural and Applied Sciences and Chemistry;
Meir Russ, Business Administration; and Bryan Vescio, Humanistic Studies
and English.

Summer students connect with smiles, service in Guatemala
Folks in the UW-Green Bay Social Work program are thinking about
possible expansion of what has become a successful and annual service-learning
trip to Central America. (Here, student Renee Dodge poses with new friends
at a Guatemalan orphanage.) Dodge and classmates began their five-week
June road trip with a Spanish-language immersion course. They then pitched
in at a home-building project, the orphanage, a homeless shelter, a nursing
home and a food bank. They also accompanied local social workers on their
rounds in mountain villages. Loretta Larkey, lecturer and field coordinator
for Social Work, says positive feedback has her looking ahead to next
year.
