Hawk researcher will lead Jan. 17 workshop at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY - Thomas Erdman, curator of the Richter Museum of Natural History at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, will present a workshop on Wisconsin hawks from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2004 at the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity located in Mary Ann Cofrin Hall Suite 212 on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr.

Erdman will use slides and specimens from the Richter Museum to help participants identify hawks and eagles and explore their life strategies.

Erdman has been a raptor researcher and bander for more than 30 years. He is director of the Little Suamico Ornithological Station where more than 1,000 hawks and owls are trapped and banded each year. Erdman has done research on the population dynamics of woodland nesting hawks, especially northern goshawks, and he has been involved in forest planning for raptors in the national forests in the western Great Lakes region.

The workshop is free, but advance registration is required because space is limited. The number to make reservations is (920) 465-5032.

The workshop is one of a series sponsored by the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity at UW-Green Bay. Information about the workshops is available by calling (920) 465-5030 or by e-mail to wolfa@uwgb.edu. Information also is available on the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity website at www.uwgb.edu/biodiversity/.

Phoenix Chorale, Preble Choir invited to perform at state meeting

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix Chorale and the Preble High School Chamber Choir are invited to perform before the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association (WCDA) state convention on Friday, Jan. 16, 2004 at Lawrence University in Appleton.

The UW-Green Bay group, directed by William Witwer, director of choral activities and chairperson of Music, is one of two invited Wisconsin college choral groups, and the Preble Chamber Choir, directed by Susan McAllister, Preble's director of choirs, is among only three high school groups performing.

The two groups will perform a preview concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15 at Preble High School.

"It's a big honor for choirs to get invited to WCDA," says Witwer. The organization makes selections by "blind" audition on the basis of tapes submitted by college and high school choral groups across the state. That two groups from Green Bay were chosen is coincidence. Another coincidence: McAllister earned her bachelor's degree in music from UW-Green Bay. She has a Master of Music degree from UW-Madison.

In keeping with the "Untried But True" WCDA convention theme, aimed at encouraging new music, both choral groups are performing some contemporary pieces.

The Preble High School Chamber Choir, accompanied on piano by Maggie Zimmerman and Judy O'Grady, will perform three pieces composed since 2000. "Set Me as a Seal," by Richard Nance was composed in 2000, "La Muralla," by Paul Basler was composed in 2001, and an arrangement of the traditional spiritual, "Rock My Soul" also is dated 2001.

They'll also perform compositions from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Instrumental accompanists on Johann Sebastian Bach's Sanctus in D minor are Maya Zahn and Ali Jahnke, first and second violins; Sarah Ohr, viola; and Kevin Fitchett, cello.

The UW-Green Bay Phoenix Chorale will perform four secular pieces on the subject of night, and end with a sacred composition, "Haec Dies" (This is the Day the Lord has Made). "Haec Dies," by Brant Adams and "Bring Me the Sunset in a Cup" by Kenneth Neufeld, both were published in 2003. A selection by living composer Morten Lauridsen also is included in their program.

The Phoenix Chorale is a newly reorganized group that has just completed its first semester of practice and performance. Ellen Rosewall is their accompanist.

The preview concert at Preble High School on January 15 is free and open to the public.

Commencement speaker tells UW-Green Bay grads to give back to society

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduates were encouraged Saturday (Dec. 20) to use the lessons they learned from their university education to give back to society and their communities.

"What you have received must be passed on," Ellen Kort, Wisconsin's Poet Laureate, told the graduates. "Call it a payback for what has been given to you."

Kort was the featured speaker at UW-Green Bay commencement ceremonies Saturday at the University's Weidner Center for the Performing Arts. UW-Green Bay honored about 400 graduates who were eligible to receive their diplomas during the ceremony.

UW-Green Bay has conferred more than 21,000 diplomas in its history, dating to the first commencement in 1970.

Kort shared with the graduates a powerful poem, "Eating for My Sister," which she wrote for her sister who had cancer and was having difficulty eating. She noted that one of her students later asked about the poem's "truth line."

Encouraging graduates to think about the "truth line" of their own lives, Kort said they should maintain their sense of "mystery, observation and integrity." She also said they have the ability to take the commonplace and make it special, and take the ordinary and make it extraordinary.

Kort of Appleton is the first to serve in the position of Wisconsin's Poet Laureate. An occasional ad hoc instructor at UW-Green Bay, she is charged by the governor with promoting the literary arts throughout Wisconsin.

Chancellor Bruce Shepard, who presided over the mid-year commencement, described the day as the happiest of the year on campus. He said it celebrates the University's No. 1 priority: the academic attainment of students.

"Like no other, this day captures why we are here and why we enjoy being here," he said.

Continuing a relatively new tradition at UW-Green Bay commencements, Shepard led applause for the many people who shared the graduates' accomplishments, including parents, other family members and friends of the graduates.

Other highlights of Saturday's commencement included:

• the awarding of the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association's Outstanding Student Award to Eryn Wallander. Wallander, who graduated with highest honors, earned a bachelor's degree in Human Biology with a health sciences emphasis, and completed a minor in Chemistry, all in three and one-half years. She also served as student commencement speaker.

• the awarding of two named professorships to support the scholarship of outstanding faculty members. Prof. V.M. Ganga Nair, a member of the Natural and Applied Sciences faculty, received the Herbert Fisk Johnson Professorship in Environmental Studies. Prof. Phil Clampitt of the Communication Processes unit received the Philip J. and Elizabeth B. Hendrickson Professorship for Business. The Hendricksons took part in Saturday's ceremony.

• greetings to the graduates from the UW Board of Regents. Regent Beth Ann Richlen, a student at the UW-Madison Law School, represented the board at Saturday's ceremony.

Science major is 'Outstanding Student' at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY - Eryn Wallander, Whitelaw, will receive the Alumni Association's Outstanding Student Award at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay commencement ceremonies at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 20 in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr. She also will serve as student speaker for the ceremony.

Wallander, who is graduating with highest honors, has earned a bachelor's degree in Human Biology with a health sciences emphasis, and completed a minor in Chemistry. She completed her degree in seven semesters, rather than the traditional eight. Wallander was elected to Phi Kappa Phi, a national honorary for all disciplines; Tri-Beta, national biology honorary; and Phi Eta Sigma, a freshman honorary.

Wallander will begin studies in fall 2004 at The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). Wallander says her experience working with a UW-Green Bay faculty researcher led to her decision to pursue a career in biomedical research, and participating in the 2003 Summer Program for Undergraduate Research at MCW confirmed her choice. She'll work as a laboratory technician in the Pharmacology and Toxicology Department at MCW until classes begin in the fall.

While attending UW-Green Bay, Wallander also has worked as a technician in UW-Green Bay chemistry and physics laboratories, and as a certified nursing assistant at a Manitowoc nursing home. She attended Reedsville schools.

Nair was a member of UW-Green Bay's founding faculty in 1968. He has a national and international reputation for his research in diseases of trees, chemotherapeutic and biological plant disease controls, breeding and cloning of disease-resistant tree species, reforestation, and preservation and propagation of forest medicinal plants. Elm, oak, walnut, butternut, coconut, citrus and eucalyptus trees, and ginseng are among plants affected by the diseases he researches. Nair has a long history of working on United Nations projects related to his research.

He has on-going projects in Africa, Asia, and Australia. In 2004 he will organize the forestry sector program for the 16th Plant Protection Congress in Beijing, China.

India has honored Nair by making him a fellow of its National Academy of Sciences. China has presented him with its Scroll of Distinction for scientific achievement.

Nair has a lengthy record of publications and professional meeting presentations reporting on his research. In the past 10 years alone, he has made more than 60 scientific presentations in the U.S., Canada, England, China, Turkey, and India. He received the first UW-Green Bay Founder's Association award for excellence in scholarship in 1976.

Nair earned his Ph.D. degree in forest and plant pathology-mycology at UW-Madison.

Clampitt, whose expertise is in communication assessment, has a long record of involvement with businesses. He directs the organizational communication emphasis in the Communication Processes academic program, and has conducted more than 100 communication audits for businesses and other outside organizations. His clients have included PepsiCo, Dean Foods, American Medical Security, Schneider National, Appleton Papers, The Boldt Company, and others.

Clampitt has completed the third edition of his book, "Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness," and he is co-author of a recent book, "Embracing Uncertainty: The Essence of Leadership." He is at work on a new book aimed toward employees in the information age. He also publishes in professional journals and presents at professional conferences. His work on uncertainty management was the subject of a profile in "Sloan Management Review."

Clampitt is on the editorial review boards for three major professional journals. He served on a special editorial board for "The Journal of Business Communication" issue on Ethical Communication.

Clampitt, who joined UW-Green Bay in 1981, earned his Ph.D. degree from the University of Kansas.

UW-Green Bay students invited to regional theater competition

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay production of "The Christmas Schooner," performed on campus in November, has been invited to the American College Theater Festival (ACTF) Region III gathering January 14-18, 2004 in Bloomington-Normal, Ill. The invitation marks the second time in three years that UW-Green Bay has toured a play to the ACTF regional meeting.

In addition, four student actors have been nominated for the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship competition, and three students will enter the festival's design competition.

Those participating in the acting competition are Terra Schultz, Withee, who was nominated for her performance in "Flyer" in spring 2003, and three others who were nominated for their work in "The Christmas Schooner": Andrea Dahlke, Wausau; Quinn White, Janesville; and Carrie Weis, Sauk Prairie. The invitation is the second for Schultz and Dahlke, who also competed in January 2003. The competition is named for the actress who played Granny in the television series, "Beverly Hillbillies," and who left a legacy providing scholarships for young actors.

All three participants in the design competition will enter their work for "Flyer." They are Christopher Woller, Kingsford, Mich., sound design; Darci White, Hartford, scenic design; and Zachariah Viviano, Green Bay, lighting design.

Theater Chairperson Laura Riddle, who directed "The Christmas Schooner," says an invitation to take a production to the regional festival so soon after a previous bid is "unusual for us." The region includes five states, and objective judges travel to view each play entered for consideration. "There are no guidelines as to how often a school can be invited and many schools have never been invited," Riddle explains. "The selection committee attempts to bring the highest quality and most innovative work to the festival each year."

The UW-Green Bay performance of "The Christmas Schooner" will be the last on the festival schedule on Saturday, Jan. 17. Representatives of The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. attend regional festivals to evaluate productions for possible performance at the Kennedy Center.

UW-Green Bay will present a benefit performance of "The Christmas Schooner" at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 12 in University Theater, located in Theater Hall on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr. The performance will help raise funds to defray costs of touring the production to Illinois. Ticket prices will be announced soon.

Meeting of UW-Green Bay students, officials produces safety measures

GREEN BAY - A meeting involving University of Wisconsin-Green Bay students and officials Thursday led to a plan of action for enhancing campus security.

The meeting was organized in response to an attempted assault on a campus pedestrian pathway Tuesday. UW-Green Bay student leaders, University police, Student Services and Residence Life representatives attended the meeting at the University Union.

University students and officials said they were pleased with the results of the meeting.

"The students raised some great points about how we can collaboratively maintain a safe campus," said Randy Christopherson, UW-Green Bay director of Public Safety.

Jonathan Virant, president of the UW-Green Bay Student Government Association, added, "A lot of ideas came out of the meeting that will be very useful. Everybody was on the same page."

The following safety measures are among those UW-Green Bay and its students will pursue:

• The Public Safety office will provide students with detailed instructions for contacting Public Safety and local law enforcement authorities in emergency and non-emergency situations.

• The Public Safety office will add information about the status of ongoing investigations to communications already sent to staff and students about campus crimes and security.

• The student Residence Hall and Apartment Association will work with the University to develop a Neighborhood Watch organization.

• Students will work with the University to develop a student escort service, which will make escorts available to students when walking on campus.

• Students will work with the University to develop and schedule a personal safety and self-defense workshop.

The security measures discussed at the meeting are in addition to steps already being taken, including increasing police patrols on campus and communications encouraging students to be aware of their surroundings.

University police are continuing to investigate the attempted assault of a female student on a pedestrian walkway between the Studio Arts building and residence halls about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday. The woman sustained minor injuries, which did not require medical treatment.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian or Hispanic male, about 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 6 inches tall, with a muscular-type build. He was wearing a dark baseball cap, dark hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and dark-gray tennis shoes.

Anyone who has information about the incident or may have seen anything suspicious should call the UW-Green Bay Public Safety office at 465-2300.

UW-Green Bay steps up patrols, plans student meeting in aftermath of incident

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is taking steps to strengthen on-campus security in the aftermath of an attempted assault on a pedestrian pathway late Tuesday afternoon.

University police are increasing patrols and encouraging students to be aware of their surroundings when walking on campus, according to Public Safety Director Randy Christopherson.

UW-Green Bay officials also are scheduling a meeting with student leaders this week to discuss student concerns about safety and the development of programs to address those concerns.

"The campus is making every effort to maintain a safe living and learning environment," Christopherson said. An attacker attempted to assault a female student walking on a pedestrian walkway between Studio Arts and the residence halls at about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday (Dec. 2). The woman sustained minor injuries. The injuries did not require medical treatment.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian or Hispanic male, about 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 6 inches tall, with a muscular-type build. He was wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, dark-colored pants, and dark gray-colored tennis shoes.

Christopherson said University police are in contact with other area law enforcement agencies to compare the attack to recent incidents in Brown County. He said the description of the attacker was not similar to that of the suspect in an attempted sexual assault on a University arboretum trail Aug. 28.

UW-Green Bay police suggested that people walking on campus walk with a partner when possible. They also said people should consider carrying personal safety measures such as pepper spray and whistles.

Anyone who has information about the incident or may have seen anything suspicious should call the UW-Green Bay Public Safety office at 465-2300.

Three win 'Creative Teaching' awards at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY - Three faculty members at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay have won "Creative Approaches to Teaching" awards for fall semester. The awards single out particular strategies that faculty members use to enhance learning for students.

Prof. Franklin Chen, Natural and Applied Sciences, developed a strategy that uses peer instruction and virtual experiments to help students learn complex and abstract science and mathematical concepts.

Humanistic Studies Prof. Rebecca Meacham, asked students in the Perspectives on Human Values class to identify unfamiliar terms in a reading, and used the exercise to help students consider their own values.

Prof. Rebecca Tout, Communication and the Arts, enabled students in a music theory class and students in a performance studio to carry out a joint composition and performance project.

Recipients of the award receive a small honorarium, and their strategies are shared with the entire faculty.

UW-Green Bay percussion groups set Dec. 12 concert

GREEN BAY-The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Contemporary Percussion Ensemble and the Hand Drumming Ensemble will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12 in University Theater located in Theater Hall on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr.

Prof. Cheryl Grosso directs both groups.

Contemporary Percussion Ensemble opens with a Grosso arrangement of "Rock Etude No. 16," a composition by Bill Douglas, a classical and jazz musician known for his bassoon and piano performance. Douglas performed in University Theater years ago with clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. Grosso says his composition borrows from East Indian traditions, and "has a funky feel."

Ensemble members will perform two trios. "Three-Play," by Karen Ervin, contrasts wood instruments, metal instruments and drums. "Percussion Music for Three Players," composed in 1935 by Gerald Strang, uses instruments such as cup bells and temple blocks that were considered exotic at the time the piece was written.

The six-member group will close with "Toccata," by composer Carlos Chavez, which reveals influences of native Mexican music. Chavez, who died in 1978, was a well-known and respected Mexican composer.

The Hand Drumming Ensemble will perform five Grosso compositions. None is a new work, although "Rhythm Chant 7.03" is so dramatically revised from its premiere-and only-performance 10 years ago that there is only a hint of the old "Rhythm Chant 7" left in the new version, according to Grosso. "Rhythm Chant 8," will feature Darryl Teske on hand drums and Matthew Boreen on clarinet.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students. The numbers for tickets are (920) 465-2217 or (80) 328-8587.

UW-Green Bay grad students to release results of Fox River study

GREEN BAY - Students at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will release the results of a semester-long study of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment plan for restoring the Fox River at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 in Mary Ann Cofrin Hall Room 204 on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr. The session is free and open to the public.

The 20 members of the graduate seminar in Environmental Science and Policy tackled the question, "What do PCBs, 178 acres of pristine wilderness neighboring a national forest, tourism in the Fox Valley, and millions of dollars in available funding, all have in common?"

Their report will outline their analysis of the present restoration plan, and present changes that could be made to insure successful results. A reception and poster session will follow the presentation.

The seminar brings together students with differing science and policy backgrounds who focus their various perspectives upon a particular practical issue. The seminar is lead by Prof. Michael Kraft of Public and Environmental Administration, and Prof. Patricia Terry of Natural and Applied Sciences.

Questions about the presentation may be directed to kraftm@uwgb.edu.

'Holiday Traditions' at UW-Green Bay promise choirs, guest organist

GREEN BAY - Choral groups at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will perform in a concert at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts that promises music from a variety of holiday traditions, a chance for the audience to join in the singing, and an opportunity to hear the Weidner Center's pipe organ.

Guest organist for the concert entitled "Holiday Traditions" will be W. Fredrick Krieger, organist and director of music at the Church of Our Lady of Victory in Northville, Mich. Krieger has a degree in church music from Nebraska Wesleyan University, and has done graduate organ study at the Hartt School of Music. He will perform a pre-concert interlude, and provide accompaniment for audience carols and the final selection by the combined choirs, "Personet Hodie," where he'll be joined by trumpets and percussion. Krieger will perform on the organ built for the Weidner Center by Casavant company of Quebec, and installed 10 years ago.

Director of Choral Activities William Witwer directs the University Women's Chorus and the new Phoenix Chorale. Prof. John Plier directs the Concert Choir.

The University Women's Chorus will present a selection for Hanukah and two songs in the Christian tradition. Accompanying them on "The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy" will be Sarah Campbell and Laura Betchner on flutes, and Richard Perry on piano.

Concert Choir will perform contemporary versions of two songs based on earlier traditions. "Hodie, Christus natus est," is based on Renaissance themes, and "The Christ of the Snow" is an arrangement of a Hungarian carol.

In the Phoenix Chorale's segment of the program, soprano Kathleen Covi will solo on "Silent Night." Ellen Rosewall is accompanist for the Chorale.

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