‘I absolutely love UW-Green Bay… I had a remarkable experience there. I knew it at the time, and my appreciation only grows. To this day, I tell everyone I know how special it was, and is.’ Barbara Polich, Class of ’72, Salt Lake City civic leader and one of the nation’s preeminent intellectual property lawyers; she is among the alumni attorneys featured in the May issue of Inside UW-Green Bay magazine
A celebration of UW-Green Bay, a surprise for Graduate No. 25,000 Readers of the Green Bay Press-Gazette and Appleton Post-Crescent will open their newspapers May 15 to find a celebration of UW-Green Bay and its outstanding alumni.       The “Degrees of Excellence” section (cover, left) profiles 25 noteworthy alumni. It will draw community attention to the way UW-Green Bay contributes to our world, one graduate at a time.       The section also previews a milestone that will occur two days later at Spring Commencement, when UW-Green Bay acknowledges its 25,000th graduate. No. 25,000 will receive a gift pack from the Alumni Association, presented by Nancy Deprey. On June 1, 1970, Deprey, then Nancy Ably and first in line by alphabetical order, received her bachelor’s degree in regional analysis at the first UW-Green Bay commencement.		She’s State Employee of the Year Brittany Brodziski is not only tops on campus, she’s the State Student Employee of the Year. The 20-year-old junior from Spencer, Wis., a chemistry major, bested 91 other candidates from seven Wisconsin institutions.       She learned of the honor at a UW-Green Bay reception in April capping off Student Employee Appreciation Week.       Brodziski has been employed as a lab technician since the first semester of her freshman year. She maintains chemistry labs that are used by 25 different classes each week. Her duties include setup, takedown, managing inventory, cleaning and identifying chemicals in the labs.
