Hey, this college thing isn’t half bad!
Enjoying springtime in sunny Florence (Italy, not Wisconsin) were four students
who accompanied UW-Green Bay music Prof. Sarah Meredith to Europe on a study tour
that also included participation in a cultural exchange program and a series of
performances. The students met peers from Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Posing

Students connect
with local issue at rally
UW-Green Bay Social Work students spearheaded an effort to re-open the English-language-only
debate in Brown County by organizing a public rally in downtown Green Bay last
month. The students, other citizens and some business leaders question the message
sent last June when the County Board voted in favor of a resolution declaring
English the official language. Students Carol Capetillo, Kristy Pahl and Lonnie
Krueger staffed a display table at the recent Academic Excellence Symposium
and described how they researched and then organized their social-action project.
