Commencement speaker urges UW-Green Bay grads to keep hope alive for all

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduates were told Saturday, Dec. 22 that their education equips them with the know-how to make the world "a better place."

The Rev. R. Grace Imathiu, senior pastor at First United Methodist Church in Green Bay, reminded the graduates they are part of the first class to graduate since the tragic events of Sept. 11. "If any group of people can turn this world right side up, it has to be you," she said.

Imathiu (pronounced Im-Matthew) spoke at the UW-Green Bay commencement ceremony Saturday afternoon at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts. The University honored 256 graduates who received their diplomas during the ceremony.

Chancellor Bruce Shepard, who became the University's fourth chancellor on Nov. 1, presided over his first commencement at the institution.

Imathiu, a native of Kenya, said the graduates have been challenged to excel in matters of justice and to keep hope alive "not just for some, but for everyone, everywhere."

"The world is waiting for you with urgency," she said. ""Go out there and do some good."

During the ceremony, Shepard recognized not only the graduates, but their parents, other family members and friends. The Chancellor said the awarding of a baccalaureate degree is especially meaningful to the many "first-generation" graduates, or the first members of their families to receive their degrees. "It's a big family celebration," he said. "It makes it extra-special."

Chancellor Shepard said commencement is one of the happiest days of the year on campus. "We mark the importance of the day with the solemnity of centuries' long ritual, and we celebrate," he said. "We celebrate because today, like no other, captures why we are here and why we so enjoy being here."

Chancellor Shepard continued a personal tradition by wearing his late father's doctoral hood at commencement. His father, the late William F. Shepard, served as dean of students at the University of California-Berkeley and a vice chancellor in the University of California System.

Gerard Randall, vice president of the UW Board of Regents, greeted and congratulated the graduates on behalf of the Regents.

Other speakers included Prof. David Littig, chairperson of the UW-Green Bay University Committee, student speaker Tanya Zimmerman of Sheboygan Falls and Outstanding Student Award recipient Katie Ginsbach of Elmwood.

After the ceremony, the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association sponsored a reception for the graduates and guests in the Weidner Center foyer.

GREEN BAY -- Two faculty members were awarded named professorships during commencement ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 22 at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.

They are David Damkoehler, who was named to the Ben J. and Joyce Rosenberg Professorship, and Robert W. Howe, who was awarded the Barbara Hauxhurst Cofrin Professorship of Natural Sciences. Damkoehler is a professor of Communication and the Arts and teaches in the Art and Environmental Design programs. Howe is a professor of Natural and Applied Sciences and Biology.

Named professorships support the scholarly work of outstanding faculty. Since the first UW-Green Bay named professorship was awarded in 1981, 19 faculty scholars have been chosen for the honor.

Carol Pollis, UW-Green Bay Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, said named professorships support opportunities for distinguished faculty that create a "margin of excellence" for the University.

"UW-Green Bay has a national reputation as an innovator in higher education," Pollis said. "Our named professorships recognize and support the work of nationally and internationally recognized scholars and teachers who have contributed so much to this reputation."

Damkoehler, recipient of the Rosenberg Professorship, is an artist and designer with an extensive national and international record of exhibits and commissions. He works in stainless steel, creating jewelry, flatware, teapots, Judaica, hardware, ornaments, and other objects. Damkoehler's work has been featured in Metalsmith magazine and other periodicals, is included in two books: Teapots Transformed: Exploration of the Object, and The Artful Teapot. Damkoehler's art work has been exhibited in many invited and juried exhibits in the U.S. and abroad and is in the permanent collections of the American Crafts Museum in New York, the corporate collection of the Celestial Tea Company, and the Sonny Kamm collection. Locally, Damkoehler's commissions have included a ceremonial mace for UW-Green Bay and an eternal light for Congregation Cnesses Israel.

Damkoehler joined the UW-Green Bay faculty in 1969. He received the Founders Association award for excellence in scholarship in 1998. Damkoehler earned his bachelor's degree in art at UW-Oshkosh and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Kent State University, Ohio.

Howe has an international reputation in the study of animal population dynamics, especially forest birds. He has worked on collaborative projects with the federal and state agencies, the Canadian Wildlife Service, The Nature Conservancy, and academic institutions in North America, Europe and Australia. His research has led to many scientific articles, conference presentations and technical reports. Howe and co-authors are completing a book on the distribution of breeding birds in Wisconsin, based on a statewide breeding bird atlas which he helped initiate in 1995. Howe has received awards from the National Audubon Society and the U.S. Forest Service for his work on forest birds. Howe is a co-investigator on a recent $6 million research grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for an extensive study of Great Lakes environmental indicators.

Howe has twice been a Fulbright Scholar. At UW-Green Bay, where he joined the faculty in 1984, he received the 1993 Founders Association award for excellence in scholarship. Howe earned his bachelor's degree at Notre Dame University and master's and Ph.D. degrees at UW-Madison.

The professorship honoring the Rosenbergs, supporters of UW-Green Bay from its inception, was established in 1985 by their children, Gary Rosenberg and Barbara Rosenberg Shure. The Barbara Hauxhurst Cofrin Professorship was established that same year by Dr. David and Mary Ann Cofrin, long-time supporters of the University, in honor of Dr. Cofrin's sister-in-law.

GREEN BAY -- The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay theater production of "Aloha, Say the Pretty Girls" has been invited to perform at the American College Theater Festival (ACTF) Region III gathering on January 12, 2002, in Evansville, Ind. The play was performed on campus in November.

The UW-Green Bay production is one of six from the five-state region chosen for festival performance says Theater Chair Laura Riddle, who directed it. About 50 productions from colleges and universities both large and small were in the running.

Student actors Todd Dively, Taylorville, Ill., and Sunam Ellis, Appleton, were nominated to compete in the Irene Ryan Scholarship acting competition at ACTF on the basis of their performances in the production and student stage manager Briana Fahey, Marshfield, has been nominated for the Kennedy Center stage management competition.

The selection brings to four the number of UW-Green Bay productions invited to the regional festival in just over a decade.

Riddle says competition for invitations has gotten tougher during those years because ACTF combined two regions in 1990. "It makes for more competition and more distance for respondents to travel," says Riddle. "But it's great to meet colleagues from a larger area."

Because it's expensive to transport cast, crew and sets to Evansville, a benefit performance of "Aloha, Say the Pretty Girls," has been set for 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 7 in University Theater. Tickets are $10 general admission with no advance sales. The money will be used to help with tour costs.

The last UW-Green Bay production invited to ACTF regional performance was "On the Verge," which Riddle also directed. That was in 1998. Earlier in the decade, "Camp Meeting" went in 1993 and "In Circles" in 1991.

Invitations to regional festivals are based on assessments by jurors from other institutions who view the productions. UW-Green Bay enters one production for consideration each year. Riddle says a total of four or five shows from the eight regional festivals across the country is selected for performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
