‘Every day is a great day to run, but April 19 should be awesome!’ Coach and super runner Mike Kline (who once had a streak of five years, eight months and six days going for a run — rain, shine or snow), promoting this month’s annual Phoenix 5-K Run/Walk fundraiser.

Cobra pilot ‘returns’ for Alumni Awards Night U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Amy Roznowski, still overseas in a war zone, will be there in spirit and via a videotaped acceptance speech when the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association holds its annual awards night Saturday, April 19, at the University Union.       Roznowski, Class of ‘01, and Rachel Neff Greenley ‘98, a professor of pediatrics at Medical College of Wisconsin, will receive the awards for those who, in 10 years or fewer since graduation, have demonstrated professional excellence.       Receiving the Association’s highest honor, Distinguished Alumni Awards, will be Mary Kabacinski ‘71 and David Muench ‘72 and 79. Kabacinski moved from the classroom to the boardroom as a former teacher who studied accounting and went on to become chief financial officer of School Specialty, Inc., the nation’s leading marketer of school supplies. Meunch, a former community development agent for UW-Extension now active professionally as an advocate for green energy, is a former president of the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association.       Also recognized will be former staff member Irene Kiefer. Chancellor Bruce Shepard will make a special presentation in honor of Kiefer’s three-decade career in which she helped shape the University’s alumni relations and development programs. She resigned in 2000.       If you are interested in attending the April 19 event, email the Alumni Office at alumni@uwgb.edu, or call (920) 465-2586.
Student stars show their stuff The public is invited to browse the displays and talk with student researchers and artists at the University’s seventh annual Academic Excellence Symposium. The event runs 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, in the Phoenix Room of the University Union. About four dozen poster displays and related exhibits will showcase the outstanding research and creative work of some 70 student exhibitors. Music students will share vocal selections.       Research topics range from land use in the Apple Creek Watershed to death in Disney movies, from organizational change to the effectiveness of ankle weights as fitness tools, from unique approaches in visual art to gender stereotyping.

	The Virgin Islands? Guam? Exchange students are smart Maybe it was the exceptionally wintry winter. There was a clear warming trend exhibited by the seven UW-Green Bay students whose exchanges were negotiated and finalized last month at the National Student Exchange Conference. Students from Green Bay will be heading to the following exchange campuses during the 2008-2009 academic year: the University of Guam, The University of the Virgin Islands, California State University, Northridge, San Jose State University, the University of South Carolina, and (the lone northern outpost) the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Students pay only their home-campus tuition while experiencing a different region and institution.
