Employees
and students share in holiday giving
Giving opportunities are big at UWGB this month. Examples?
• Sherry Rasmussen of the Office of Outreach is again
heading up the Give-A-Kid-A-Book campaign. Student Life's "Learning Tree"
program is similar.
• The Student Athletes Advisory Committee runs a Mitten
Tree drive to benefit the Salvation Army.
• Social Work Club and the Student Ambassadors are each
"adopting a family" for the holidays.
• Habitat for Humanity students are earning money for
their next free build by bagging at Kohl's Department Stores.
• UW-Green Bay employees upped this year's United Way
giving by 31 percent.
• Zeta Omega Tau is supporting "Coats for Kids;"
RHAA and the Southeast Asian Student Union are working for "Toys for Tots."
• The Student Wisconsin Educators Association runs a
fundraiser called "Letters from Santa."
• The Student Government Association and Residence Life
collected food for Paul's Pantry. Circle K Club stocked shelves.

Students celebrate Alice
in "SA" land
Students in Robert Ratajczak's TSM (Tool Safety and Materials) arts class celebrated
a fun assignment — handcraft a clock based on the same basic pattern and
design but varied in decorative elements, around a rabbit or "Alice in
Wonderland" theme. Those in attendance at a recent Studio Arts Building
reception were impressed and amused by the whimsical artisanship of more than
30 students.
Founders Association names
five new directors
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Founders Association has added five new
members to its board of directors. Serving three-year terms will be:
• John Heugel, an attorney with the law firm Liebmann, Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry.
Heugel, UW-Green Bay class of '71, was the recipient of the 1995 Distinguished Alumni
Award.
• Russ McCollister, vice president and Green Bay West Mill manager of Georgia-Pacific.
• Diane Beinlich, employment law manager with Schreiber Foods, Inc.
• Romaine Schanock of Schanock Investment Co., owner of the local McDonald's restaurants.
• Helen Schaal, UW-Green Bay teacher-in-residence and former president of the
Green Bay Education Association.
The Founders Association encompasses community, alumni and
employee giving that directly supports UW-Green Bay's academic mission.

UW-Green Bay takes ownership
of Point
au Sauble Preserve
The Nature Conservancy presented the Point au Sauble Nature Preserve to UW-Green
Bay in ceremonies Oct. 31 that recognized the efforts of individuals and groups
who have worked to preserve the 130-acre site, the largest remaining wetland
along the lower bay's east shore. The preserve, which provides critical habitat
for more than 200 different types of migratory and resident birds, is a valuable
resource for teaching and research. After the ceremony, attendees posed at the
unveiling of the sign marking the site, about five miles north of campus along
County Highway A.
"For
more than a decade, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has been very ably
managing the Point au Sauble Preserve. . . It is very appropriate that the University
has now become its owner as well as its caretaker."
 Leslie
Shade
Trustee emeritus of the Wisconsin chapter of The Nature Conservancy
