What is Phuture Phoenix Day?
Phuture Phoenix Days are
October 13 & 15, 2009
The Phuture Phoenix program, based at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, is a coordinated
effort to inspire academic success and alert children to educational opportunities.
INVOLVEMENT IN PHUTURE PHOENIX BEGINS WITH:
1. Recruiting & Training UWGB students as role models
At the beginning of each academic year, students are recruited
through campus outreach endeavors. UWGB students are trained in the procedures and requirements
for becoming a Phuture Phoenix role model.
2. Inviting Fifth Graders From Local Public Schools
Fifth graders from local public schools are invited to participate in Phuture Phoenix.
Selected schools receive materials from UWGB early in September.
3. Pre-visit (In-Town Schools)
UWGB role models visit in- town fifth grade classrooms to introduce themselves and talk about the Phuture Phoenix field trip.
4. Phuture Phoenix Day at UWGB
All invited fifth grade students and their teachers are bussed to UWGB on the scheduled day to tour the campus, participate in planned
activities, and get to know their role models. Each pair of UWGB role models is assigned to one group of fifth graders.

5. Post-visit (In-Town Schools)
UWGB role models will visit the in-town fifth grade classrooms one week after the Phuture Phoenix field
trip to answer questions and initiate ongoing contact with fifth grade students.
Role models are encouraged to make consistent contact with their students throughout the school year
(they will pre-arrange any school visits with teachers).
