GREEN BAY -- Students who are sophomores in high school now can apply for an intensive six-week pre-college summer program at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay aimed at helping them investigate and prepare for health science careers. The Regional Center for Mathematics and Science (RCMS) program begins June 23 and ends August 3.

RCMS is federally funded and is free to students who quality. To be eligible to apply, students must come from homes that meet income criteria defined by the U.S. Department of Education, or from homes where neither parent has a four-year college degree.

"This program is an effort to eliminate all barriers to college education," says RCMS Director Michael Casbourne.

Students spend the entire six weeks on the UW-Green Bay campus or on field trips. They live in supervised University housing and their free time is filled with activities.

College-level instructors teach classes in science and mathematics, and students take a college readiness course that helps them prepare to make applications to colleges and for scholarships. Students visit a medical college, nursing school, veterinary college, biotechnology firm, sports medicine clinic, medical research facility, and other settings where professionals work in health sciences fields. Program alumni who've gone on to college return each summer to serve as mentors.

Student contact with RCMS continues after the summer program ends. Casbourne visits the students in their high schools during the school year and instructors send students regular "challenge" questions to work on. Students who attend RCMS before their high school junior year may return for the following summer. Casbourne says 93 percent of the juniors who attended in summer 2001 will return in summer 2002.

The UW-Green Bay RCMS, which serves students in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio, is in its 11th year. It is one of 123 RCMS programs nationwide.

For information, the numbers are (920) 465-2445 or 1-800-253-7267, or e-mail to RCMS@UWGB.EDU. The World Wide Web site is www.uwgb.edu/RCMS.

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will resume its undergraduate admissions process immediately, Chancellor Bruce Shepard announced Friday.

Shepard made his announcement after the Executive Committee of the UW Board of Regents lifted a suspension on UW System undergraduate admissions for the fall 2002 semester.

"We're pleased with the Regents' action," Shepard said. "It is the mission of this university to provide access to higher education, not deny it. We now can refocus on meeting our enrollment target for the fall semester."

Shepard added that he will continue to monitor the state fiscal situation and University's enrollment stream to make sure educational quality at UW-Green Bay is not jeopardized.

The Regents acted after receiving assurances regarding state funding for the UW System from Gov. Scott McCallum and the Senate majority.

Under the admissions decision Friday, UW-Green Bay will resume processing applications that were submitted by the Feb. 15 deadline for new freshmen and March 1 deadline for transfer students.

Exceptions to the application deadlines will be considered for students whose presence would uniquely enrich the University community through special talents or cultural or ethnic diversity.

The admissions process also will resume for re-enrolling students, Extended Degree, nursing completion and special students. Graduate programs were not affected by the admissions suspension.

UW-Green Bay has an enrollment target of 4,357 full-time equivalent students for fall 2002. The target was established to balance enrollment and available resources, including adequate class sections and student services.

Shepard said the strong demand for a UW-Green Bay education shows that "the secret is out" about the University. Applications are up about 10 percent over last year.

UW-Green Bay suspended undergraduate admissions March 7, one day before the Board of Regents froze admissions for the entire UW System. The actions came as a result of uncertainty over the state's 2002-03 budget repair bill, which Gov. McCallum introduced Jan. 22.

Under the governor's proposal, UW-Green Bay would face budget cuts of $606,895 in the 2002-03 fiscal year. The University's anticipated budget cut increased to about $1.9 million after action by the state Assembly.

The Senate will take up the budget next week. Senate and Assembly leaders then will work out final budget details.

For more information about the UW-Green Bay application process, contact the Admissions and Orientation Office at (920) 465-2111.

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Athletics Director Ken Bothof announced today (Tuesday, March 19) that he is making a coaching change in the men's basketball program. Head Coach Mike Heideman and his staff were notified this morning they were being relieved of their coaching duties effective immediately, Bothof said.

"This was a very difficult decision," Bothof said. "We appreciate the commitment Mike Heideman has made to UWGB over the past 16 years. His integrity and dedication to the game of basketball are unquestioned.

"However, as the men's basketball team prepares to move to the Resch Center, I feel it is in the best interests of the program and the University to make a change in leadership."

The UW-Green Bay men's basketball team will begin playing at the new 10,200-seat Resch Center next season. The team played at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena for the past 33 years.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard said he supports Bothof's decision. The Chancellor noted that men's basketball is UW-Green Bay's most visible athletic program. He said Bothof is committed to building a strong program for the benefit of the University and community.

Heideman completed his seventh season as UW-Green Bay head men's basketball coach March 3 with a 63-57 loss to Loyola University Chicago in the Horizon League tournament semifinals. The loss to the Ramblers left the Phoenix with a 9-21 overall record to go with an eighth-place 4-12 showing in the conference regular season.

In seven years at UW-Green Bay, Heideman posted a 110-95 record. During his first year as head coach in 1995-96, Heideman led the Phoenix to its first-ever NCAA Division I national ranking, a 25-4 record and an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament.

Prior to taking the reins of the UW-Green Bay program, Heideman was an assistant to former Phoenix Head Coach Dick Bennett for nine seasons from 1986-95.

A national search for UW-Green Bay's next head men's basketball coach will begin immediately.

GREEN BAY -- The state Senate Committee on the 2001-03 Biennial Budget will hold a public hearing on the state budget repair bill Thursday, March 21 at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.

The UW-Green Bay hearing will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Richard L. Christie Theatre in the University Union. UW-Green Bay is one of five UW campuses to host a hearing on the 2002-03 budget repair bill.

Gov. Scott McCallum introduced the bill Jan. 22. Under the governor's proposal, the UW System would face budget cuts of $51 million in the 2002-03 fiscal year, including cuts of $606,895 at UW-Green Bay.

However, the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee and the Assembly approved deeper cuts in the UW System budget. Budget uncertainties have led to suspension of undergraduate admissions for fall 2002 and also to a systemwide hiring freeze.

The Senate committee is looking for public feedback on the budget actions taken to date and the anticipated impacts of those actions. Attendees who wish to testify can register at the door.

The budget hearing will be one of the final opportunities for the public to comment on the budget repair bill. After the Senate approves the bill, it will go to a committee of Senate and Assembly leaders who will work out final budget details.

GREEN BAY - The Fourth Estate, the student newspaper at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, took home numerous awards from the Associated Collegiate Press Best of the Midwest college newspaper competition.

The UW-Green Bay newspaper placed third among daily and weekly tabloid newspapers from four-year colleges in 14 Midwestern states. The competition was part of the college newspaper association's annual convention, which was held March 8-10 in Minneapolis.

The Fourth Estate's entry was the March 7 edition. The edition had strong news and sports coverage and page layout, according to Andy Behrendt, Fourth Estate editor in chief.

The newspaper also received an honorable mention in a category devoted to coverage of the events of Sept. 11.

Three Fourth Estate staff members won individual awards in the college newspaper competition. Sports editor Brad Conrad won second place for sports reporting. Co-lead copy editor Kara Plamann won honorable mention in news writing, and reporter Rachel Goff won honorable mention in feature writing.

The weekly Fourth Estate was founded in 1969. Behrendt, a UW-Green Bay senior, has been the newspaper's editor in chief throughout the 2001-02 academic year.

Behrendt said he is pleased with the progress the Fourth Estate has made in recent years. "We're making some real steady improvements," he said. "We're real proud of what we've done."

GREEN BAY -- Registration is open for University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Summer Discovery enrichment classes for elementary and middle school pupils. Summer Pre-Discovery classes are available for four- and five-year olds.

Two separate weeks of Discovery and Pre-Discovery classes are offered: July 29-August 2 and August 5-9.

Tumbling, dance and youth entrepreneurship are new Summer Discovery courses. Favorite classes returning to the line-up include "Hands-on Rocketry," and "Furry, Feathered, Lovable Friends."

Two Pre-Discovery classes are offered for pre-schoolers. "It's a Buggy World" is scheduled mornings or afternoons of camp week one and "Exploring the World With All Five Senses" is the offering in week two. The teacher-student ratio in Pre-Discovery is one to six.

Families are responsible for providing daily transportation and lunches for those pupils who take both morning and afternoon classes.

The Summer Discovery program was originated nine years ago by the Office of Outreach and Extension. The coming summer will be the third for the Pre-Discovery program.

The numbers for information are (920) 465-2267 or 1-800-892-2118. The World Wide Web site is www.uwgb.edu/outreach/camps.

GREEN BAY -- Enrollment is being taken now for University of Wisconsin-Green Bay summer Computer Camps for students entering grades 7-9 in fall 2002. Two separate camp weeks are offered: June 9-14 or June 16-21.

The program accommodates students who enter with various levels of technological preparation, say co-directors Theodore Korithoski and Art Lacey. Both are members of the UW-Green Bay Education faculty and both specialize in technology.

During the course of the week-long camp, each student will create either a World Wide Web page, a full Web site, or a computer presentation which may incorporate audio or video.

The camps are open to commuters, who provide their own daily transportation, or to residents, who live in supervised campus housing.

Early registration is encouraged because camps are limited to 24 students each week.

Computer Camps are sponsored by the UW-Green Bay Office of Outreach and Extension.

GREEN BAY - Students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited to join in the celebration of the American Intercultural Center's first 30 years at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.

The center, which opened its doors in March 1972 as the Ethnic Heritage Center, will hold a 30th anniversary reception Monday, March 11. The reception will be from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the center's office, Cofrin Library Room 207.

Diana Borrero-Lowe, the center's coordinator since September 2000, said there is good reason to celebrate the center's past, present and future.

"We'll be celebrating the coming together and caring that happens here," she said. "I don't think the center would have been here 30 years if we weren't doing something right."

The American Intercultural Center is a resource for African-American, American Indian, Hispanic and Southeast Asian students on campus. It provides services and activities that promote the academic success, personal growth and development of multicultural students. Its staff also works to develop awareness and appreciation of different cultures within the University community.

The center is home to the Black Student Union, Intertribal Student Union, La Organizacion Latina and Southeast Asian Student Union. Borrero-Lowe said the center's main purpose is to help UW-Green Bay students of color feel comfortable within the University setting.

"I really think ethnic students cross a bridge every day," she said. "Our job is to build those bridges and help them cross the bridge, interact and be successful."

The reception will feature cake, refreshments and balloons. A highlight will be the presentation of certificates to 70 students of color with grade point averages of 3.0 or higher.

Borrero-Lowe said she hopes UW-Green Bay alumni who have been involved with the center over the years attend the reception. She said numerous alumni have children attending UW-Green Bay.

"It's so neat that there are alumni out there with children going here now," she said.

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has put on hold all decisions related to admitting applicants for the fall 2002 semester, Chancellor Bruce Shepard announced Thursday.

Shepard temporarily suspended action on admissions that have not yet been approved pending a decision by the UW Board of Regents on whether to send conditional letters of admission to qualified applicants.

A conditional acceptance means an applicant's acceptance could later be denied because of budget realities. Such an action would be unprecedented for the UW System.

The Regents are expected to make a decision next week on whether to direct chancellors to immediately begin sending conditional letters of admission to all applicants not yet accepted to the UW System.

But Shepard said UW-Green Bay cannot wait for the Regents' decision. He said the University must act now in order to make sure budget cuts do not harm educational quality. "We will not compromise quality so we have to take immediate steps to limit access," he said.

Currently at UW-Green Bay, applications are up 10 percent over last year. The University has already targeted a 10 percent decrease in new students due to last fall's over-enrollment.

Due in large part to improved retention of continuing students, UW-Green Bay in fall 2001 set an enrollment record with 4,550 full-time equivalent students. The FTE enrollment is based on the number of credits taken and is used by the UW System in measuring the University's capacity.

Shepard announced last week that UW-Green Bay faces a budget cut of $606,895 in the 2002-03 fiscal year as a result of Gov. Scott McCallum's budget repair bill.

However, the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee on Wednesday approved additional cuts to state agency budgets, some of which would be absorbed by UW campuses. The committee also voted to cap the UW System's 2002-03 tuition increase at 8 percent, down from the governor's proposal of 10 percent.

The budget repair bill still needs approval of the Assembly and Senate.

Shepard said the lower tuition cap will do nothing to reduce the state's projected budget deficit. However, it will force UW-Green Bay and other campuses to reduce the number of students they can enroll, he said.

"We've gone through an arduous budget process to see how we can maintain current enrollment," Shepard said. "I now feel like the rug is being pulled out from under us if the decisions of the Joint Finance Committee stand.

"In good faith we agreed to maintain our enrollment size even in the face of the governor's budget cuts," he added. "They are now reducing the tuition increase and cutting us more. These additional cuts leave us no choice but to take further steps to limit access."

GREEN BAY -- Jen Pfundtner and Tana Koss received "Woman of the Year" awards during the annual Women's Recognition luncheon on Wednesday, March 6 at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The event launched Women's History Month activities at UW-Green Bay.

Pfundtner is an adviser in the Admissions Office. Koss is a student leader completing a major in Social Work and a minor in Women's Studies.

"Woman of the Year" awards are presented by the Student Government Association. Recipients are selected from nominations made by faculty, staff and students across campus.

In the Admissions Office, Pfundtner is the liaison to prospective out-of-state students and supervises the students who give campus tours to prospective students and their parents.

Her campus activities include serving as sexual assault liaison for the Community/Outreach/Prevention/Education advisory committee, involvement in Drawing the Shades, an annual campus program about sexual assault, and being an ally to SAFE, an organization that works toward a supportive environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual students. Pfundtner also is a facilitator for the Insight program that helps to educate students about the risks of alcohol. She serves on the board for the Ecumenical Center and advises the student chapter of Habitat for Humanity. A Waupaca native, Pfundtner is a graduate of UW-Green Bay.

"Jen is an inspiration for every student she reaches," said the student who nominated her. "She is a friend, a mentor, a role model, and a golden asset to Green Bay."

Koss, Green Bay, was cited for effectively combining academic work, "wage" work, and campus and community volunteer work. She has achieved a near-perfect grade point average and has received the Rolfe E. White Scholarship in Social Work.

Koss is a cofounder of the campus chapter of The Feminist Majority. In summer 2001 she was selected for a weeklong leadership training seminar sponsored by the organization in Washington, D.C. Since 1998, Koss has worked with the Family Violence Center/Golden House as a shelter supervisor. During the same period she has volunteered as a citizen advocate for an individual with disabilities and sometimes does additional volunteer work for the Brown County Association for Retarded Citizens as a result. In her job with Lutheran Social Services, Koss works with adults with cognitive disabilities.

"In her academics, her activism and her community service, Tana is dedicated to excellence and social justice," said the faculty member who nominated her.

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will recognize academic excellence in a wide range of student projects at the University's first-ever Academic Excellence Symposium.

The April 17 symposium will provide a forum to showcase excellence throughout all academic programs or majors at UW-Green Bay. The event will celebrate the outstanding research, scholarly, professional and creative work of students.

"We know many of our students have produced outstanding scholarly and creative work, and the upcoming Symposium presents a great opportunity to collectively recognize their accomplishments and learn something about work in many fields," said Carol Pollis, Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

Denise Scheberle, Interim Associate Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the Symposium is an opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss the excellent work students are doing. She noted that the Symposium is the first of its kind at UW-Green Bay.

All faculty and academic staff can nominate students for the Symposium. One-page nomination forms can be obtained from the Professional Programs in Business, 460 Wood Hall. Nomination forms are due Monday, March 25.

Selected students will prepare poster displays for exhibit to faculty, staff, students and the community. The poster session will run from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 17 in the University Union. The session will allow viewers to study and review each exhibit and discuss it with the presenter.

The Symposium will showcase student projects such as internships, honors projects, independent studies, distinction in the major projects and undergraduate/graduate research. Projects can be works-in-progress.

"We'll be able to bring students, faculty and the community together to celebrate this kind of work," Scheberle said.

Students will receive certificates of achievement for their exceptional work. The Symposium is sponsored by the honor societies of Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Eta Sigma.

For more information, contact Symposium coordinator Alla Wilson by e-mail at wilsona@uwgb.edu or by phone at 465-2216.

GREEN BAY -- A. J. Kluth will perform his junior recital on saxophone at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 13 in University Theater, located in Theater Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Dr. Admission is free.

Kluth, Green Bay, is a student of Prof. John Salerno, director of jazz studies.

Kluth's program will include one of his own compositions, "Never Fall in Love." He'll also perform compositions by Fisher Tull, Eugene Bozza, Jeff Coffin, Paul Bonneau, Jerome Kern and Kenny Garrett.

Accompanying Kluth will be Salerno and Terence O'Grady of the UW-Green Bay faculty; Tom Reynolds, St. Norbert College; and students Evan Halloin and Kevin Baker.

A 1999 graduate of Preble High School, Kluth has performed in the UW-Green Bay Jazz Ensemble and in the Wind Ensemble for three years.

GREEN BAY -- Pianist Arthur Cohrs will perform with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Wind Ensemble in the world premiere of Terence O'Grady's Concerto for Piano and Wind Ensemble in a concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 12 in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr.

The concert date is changed from its original March 14 schedule, due to the success of the UW-Green Bay women's basketball team in winning a berth in the NCAA tournament. Members of the Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band also play in the Pep Band and expect to be traveling to a tournament site on March 13 or 14.

O'Grady, a member of the UW-Green Bay faculty, says he composed the three-movement Concerto for Piano and Wind Ensemble with Cohrs' performance techniques in mind. Cohrs is a professor emeritus at UW-Green Bay.

Kevin Collins, UW-Green Bay director of bands, directs the Wind Ensemble.

Their program also will include Percy Grainger's "Children's March," and a transcription of the overture from Leonard Bernstein's Broadway musical, "Candide."

It includes "Galop," by Dimitri Shostakovich; Morton Gould's "Cowboy Rhapsody," based on arrangements of folk tunes; and John Philip Sousa's "Riders for the Flag," composed for the U.S. Cavalry. They'll close with selections from the musical, "Carousel," by Richard Rodgers.

Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for students. The numbers for tickets are (920) 465-2217 or 1-800-328-8587.

GREEN BAY -- Visitors to Mary Ann Cofrin Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Dr., can see just how much electricity the building is generating at a new Wisconsin Public Service kiosk unveiled Monday, March 4.

Viewers can access and view the kiosk information by using touch screens.

Roofing and "vision glass" in the University's newest academic building actually generate electricity from the sun. Wisconsin Public Service Corp. cooperated with UW-Green Bay to make the technology possible.

Both roofing and glass are the first such installations in Wisconsin. The "vision glass" is the first installation of its kind in the United States. The sun's rays generate electricity when they strike thin-film solar electric, or photovoltaic, material bonded to roofing on the south side of the building and sandwiched between glass on the roof and upper walls of the south-facing Winter Garden.

The installation is partly a research project to determine the cost and performance of photovoltaic technology. The State of Wisconsin and the U.S. Department of Energy are among agencies interested in the results.

Kiosk viewers also can learn about Mary Ann Cofrin Hall's energy-efficient design. The building takes advantage of natural light to decrease energy need, and it uses many recycled and recyclable materials. The state-set goal for the building is to achieve an energy cost that is 50 percent or less of the cost of energy in a comparable building designed to meet the Wisconsin Commercial Building Energy Code.

The kiosk is located on the second floor of Mary Ann Cofrin Hall opposite the building's main entrance. It's available to visitors when the building is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

GREEN BAY - The governor's budget repair bill will allow the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to maintain current levels of spending for instruction.

However, the budget will cut in half funding for a new program aimed at improving the undergraduate experience in and out of the classroom. It also will require in-state students to pay about $27 per semester in additional tuition.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard explained the budget's potential impact on the University in a statement to the campus community. He noted that the budget repair bill is only a proposal, which still needs the approval of both houses of the Legislature.

Shepard said UW-Green Bay faces a budget cut of $606,895 in the 2002-03 fiscal year as a result of the governor's proposal. The budget plan will reduce funding for a new program known as the Learning Experience, which will allow the University to improve student retention and the first-year experience. Under the budget repair bill, initial funding for the program will be cut in half — from $500,000 to $250,000.

"The reductions are real," Shepard said. "They delay improvements in the educational experience that dedicated colleagues across campus had worked long and hard to design."

The tuition increase of $27 a semester for a full-time resident student will be used to offset the overall budget cut by $109,000. That tuition increase is in addition to a $105 per semester increase already approved as part of the 2002-03 budget.

The rest of the budget reduction — $247,895 — will come through cuts in the Chancellor's Office, Budget and Planning, Information Services, Student Services, Academic Affairs, and Business and Finance.

Better news, according to Shepard, is that the budget plan allows UW-Green Bay to maintain core services for students already admitted to the University.

The Chancellor said all vacant faculty positions will be filled. He also said all core academic and student support programs will remain in place.

Shepard said one thing is "very clear" after intense examination of the budget during the past few weeks. "If, for whatever reason, we are expected to cut more deeply, there is absolutely no way we can do so without seriously affecting quality, access and cost," he said.

Further budget cuts would lead to enrollment reductions, a substantial tuition increase, reduced student access to classes and the loss of the entire Learning Experience investment, Shepard said.

GREEN BAY -- The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has made public the names of students receiving academic honors for the fall semester.

Students who maintain a 4.0 gradepoint average, which represents all "A" grades, receive highest honors. High honors go to those earning 3.99 to 3.75 gradepoint averages. Honors are given to students with 3.74 to 3.50 gradepoint averages.

Students are listed by the county claimed as place of permanent residence. All were full-time students in the fall term.
