of UW-Green Bay: Founders honor outstanding faculty, staff It has been a UW-Green Bay tradition since 1975. The Founders Association sponsors its annual Awards for Excellence program and bestows recognition, plaques and cash awards upon those deemed the “best of the best” by their peers. Honored at last week’s faculty/staff convocation opening the academic year were: Teaching — Prof. Andrew Kersten, Social Change and Development, devoted to improving the teaching of history; Scholarship — Prof. Regan Gurung, Human Development and psychology, a prolific author and researcher in health psychology and related fields; Institutional Development — Prof. Emeritus Fergus Hughes, who served the institution in a variety of leadership capacities over a 35-year career; Collaborative Achievement — UW-Green Bay, UW-Oshkosh Collaborative Master of Social Work Program, surpassing expectations in its first two innovative years of existence; Community Outreach — Prof. Kevin Fermanich, Natural and Applied Sciences, director of a major watershed monitoring project involving many partners; Academic Support — Ron Ronnenberg, the University’s longtime director of financial aid and student employment; and Classified Staff — Jan Snyder, an associate in the Office of the Provost and Vice Chancellor, and a key contributor to campus special events and veterans recognition programs. |

second Phoenix soars, but for Athletics only Check out the apparel at the UW-Green Bay bookstore, and you’ll see something new... and old. In summer 2007, the UW-Green Bay Office of Intercollegiate Athletics adopted as its primary visual symbol their new representation of a mythical phoenix (above at right). Athletics had previously used the standard institutional bird — the Phoenix Emblem — on its uniforms and in its marketing/communication materials. With the adoption of what is known as the “Athletics Insignia” — for sports use only — the program is creating a separate identity and attempting to enhance its revenue from merchandise sales. The traditional UW-Green Bay Emblem and Wordmark, adopted in 1996, will continue as the standard identity mark for the larger institution, its programs, offices and services. |

| Newcomers
appreciate the helping hand At last Thursday’s move-in day, new freshmen and their families were in the easy chair. Faculty, staff and some continuing students pitched in to welcome nearly 1,000 new freshmen. In some cases, families didn’t have to carry a thing as willing helpers handled the heavy lifting. Altogether, about 2,000 students — roughly 40 percent of total enrollment — live on campus at UW-Green Bay. |
