Student
researchers will guest star
at Founders event on April 19
More than 100 of UW-Green Bay’s best and brightest students will
be working the room, sharing with the community, when the Founders Association
hosts its annual spring reception on Tuesday, April 19.
The students are invited exhibitors at the University’s
Academic Excellence Symposium. That event — in which poster displays
and computer presentations showcase exceptional research, academic achievements
and creative work — begins earlier in the day in the Phoenix Room
of the University Union.
The student presenters and exhibits will remain in
place to welcome guests arriving for the informal Founders Association
social gathering from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
“This is a terrific opportunity to put students
in front of members of the community,” says Shane Kohl, annual giving
director for University Advancement. “Donors want to see what their
scholarship dollars are doing, in terms of helping students solve problems,
make a difference and connect with the community.”
Kohl says, based on early response, he anticipates
a record or near-record turnout for what should be a lively evening. It
is the first pairing of a Founders Association reception and the student
symposium..

Hear the frogs? It must be spring in Wisconsin
Nature lovers are invited to a special evening edition of the popular
series of free workshops presented by the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity.
Amphibians — a diverse class of animals that includes salamanders,
toads, frogs, and worm-like creatures called caecilians — will be
the topic Friday night, April 29. Biologist Daniel Meinhardt of the UW-Green
Bay faculty will focus on species native to Wisconsin.
The workshop departs from the usual Saturday morning time period so that
participants can be outdoors at the peak time to hear frog songs. Admission
is free; to register, call the Center at (920) 465-5032

 “Phoenix
women’s basketball has continually progressed. The success we have
had in the past is special — Top 25, NCAA Tournament — but
I foresee this program becoming even bigger and better with the addition
of the new Kress Center. It’s an exciting time to be part of Green
Bay basketball.

senior, a member of the nationally ranked Phoenix women’s basketball
team which finished the season at 27-4
April is Powwow month at UW-Green Bay
The Intertribal Student Council extends a warm welcome to campus and community
— especially to first-time visitors — to attend the 13th annual
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Powwow on Saturday, April 9, at the
Phoenix Sports Center. Admission is free.
The day-long gathering draws participants from neighboring
tribal nations including Oneida, Menominee, Stockbridge-Munsee and Ojibwe,
among others. Dance, drumming and ceremonial ritual are the focus during
the formal “Grand Entry” at 1 p.m., repeated at 7 p.m.
Informal celebration of culture takes place throughout
the day. Visitors can mingle with participants; food vendors will have
Indian tacos, fry bread and other Native American favorite foods for sale;
and art and craft vendors also will offer beadwork, paintings, jewelry
and other items for sale.
The theme will be “Keeping the Dream Alive: Education
for All Native People.” (Pictured above: native dancers at a previous
year’s powwow.) For more information about the Powwow, contact the
UW-Green Bay American Intercultural Center at (920) 465-2720.
