More Alumni News
We’re 25,000 strong!
That’s right… during May commencement the 25,000th graduate of UW-Green Bay will receive his or her diploma. That’s 25,000 smart and engaged advocates making a difference in your community and ours. In celebration, a special newspaper section in the Green Bay Press-Gazette and the Appleton Post-Crescent recognizes “alums to know,” and other “25s” of note. We’re UW-Green Bay proud of our 25,000 alumni and we hope you are, as well.
Dining with Professionals
About 100 students traded their blue jeans for business attire to attend last month’s Etiquette Dinner, hosted by the Alumni Association and Career Services. Deborah Thomas-Nininger, a national presenter on etiquette, gave the soon-to-be graduating students lessons on dining, socializing, name tags, handshakes and more. In addition, corporate representatives had the opportunity to meet potential new hires in a formal atmosphere at the Weidner Center’s elegantly appointed Fort Howard Hall. The event, say organizers, was a hit!
Did you work in student government? Drop us a line!
Did you serve the Student Government Association during your time at UW-Green Bay? Did you continue your passion in politics post-UW-Green Bay? Were you part of a history-making movement, or did you help draft a controversial bylaw? Did you spend way too much time in the SGA offices, and not enough in labs and libraries? What are you doing now? Inside editorial staff would like to hear from you for an upcoming issue. Give us the scoop at alumni@uwgb.edu.

A Knote from the Knipples
Kristy Knoblock ’02 writes, “In November 2007, I married Thomas Nipple (UW-Platteville grad) and we combined the spellings of our last names to become The Knipples. Since the K in Knoblock is silent, it is still pronounced nipple and I encourage laughing because I too think it is a funny name.”
