Public discussions on justice, war, peace set at Brown County Library

GREEN BAY - The public is invited to a series of three discussions organized around issues of justice, war and peace scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays, Sept. 8 and 22 and Oct. 6 at the Brown County Library, 515 Pine St. The programs are free.

Professors Hye-Kyung Kim and Andrew Fiala, both of whom teach in the Humanistic Studies and Philosophy academic units at UW-Green Bay, are co-organizers of the series. It is supported by a $2,000 grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council.

Fiala says the two feel it’s important in an election year to encourage people to think critically about issues Americans face. “The series isn’t political, but it touches on some of the issues such as the war in Iraq and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal,” he explains.

Fiala also identifies a “big picture,” noting that Americans haven’t been involved in a war of the magnitude and length of the war in Iraq for quite some time. “There’s a whole new generation that needs to think about these issues,” he adds.

Each session will begin with brief presentations by three humanities scholars from different disciplines. The audience will be invited to join in conversation on the topics during the second half of the program.

Program topics and speakers are:

Sept. 8 — Terrorism, Violence and War Speaking on topics including the psychology of violence and violence in Western culture will be Kim of UW-Green Bay; Prof. Joe Hatcher, psychologist at Ripon College; and Prof. David Chan, a philosopher at UW-Stevens Point.

Sept. 22 — Justice, Torture and Human Rights Addressing subjects such as torture and analogies between this war and previous wars will be Prof. Derek Jeffreys, religious studies at UW-Green Bay; Prof. Clifton Ganyard, historian at UW-Green Bay; and the Rev. John Wehling, of St. Matthew Orthodox Church, Green Bay.

Oct. 6 — Peace and Reconciliation Outlining topics including practical pacifism, nonviolence and feminist perceptions on war and violence will be Fiala of UW-Green Bay; John Nemick, Green Tara Sangha Buddhist Community, Green Bay; and Prof. Kim Nielsen, Social Change and Development and Women’s Studies at UW-Green Bay.

'Living learning center' at UW-Green Bay named for Tom Maki

GREEN BAY - A "living learning center" at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's newest residence hall will be named in honor of a University official who has been a leader in developing the University's on-campus housing.

The Tom Maki Living Learning Center in the new Tom Haevers Hall is designed to provide students, faculty and community members with a place to learn, collaborate and achieve through classroom experience, study, recreation and other activities.

Maki has been vice chancellor for business and finance at UW-Green Bay since 1991. As the University's chief financial officer, he has played a leading role in the financing of affordable, quality student housing at UW-Green Bay.

The center will be dedicated along with the new suite-style residence hall at a ceremony at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8 at the new building.

Maki has been an important figure in developing innovative financing of residence halls at UW-Green Bay. Construction of Tom Haevers Hall and other new residence halls is made possible by city- and county-approved bonding through University Village Housing, Inc., a private, nonprofit corporation.

Maki said he is honored to have the Living Learning Center bear his name.

"It's a wonderful honor considering the people who have had residence halls and the Living Learning Centers named for them," he said. "The people who received the recognition before me did a lot to make these buildings happen."

Maki joined UW-Green Bay in 1978 as an internal auditor. He assumed his current duties in August 1991.

Maki has a bachelor's degree in accounting from UW-Oshkosh. He received his master's degree in business administration through a cooperative program involving UW-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh.

He has been active in numerous community organizations. He has served on the boards of directors of Advance, the economic development arm of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, and Voyageur magazine. He also was a member of the Bayshore Optimists Club.

A Marinette native, Maki and his wife, Jewele, have two children.

The Tom Maki Living Learning Center on the first floor of Tom Haevers Hall is designed to promote a tradition of collaboration and community learning. It will be ready for use when students move into the 122-bed residence hall Wednesday, Sept. 1.

The new residence hall will bring the total on-campus housing capacity to nearly 2,000 students.

UW-Green Bay honors six faculty, staff members for excellence

GREEN BAY - Six members of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay faculty and staff have been named recipients of 2004 Founders Association Awards for Excellence.

The awards and recipients are: Teaching - Regan Gurung; Scholarship - Cheryl Grosso; Institutional Development - Cristina Ortiz; Community Outreach - Jan Thornton; Academic Support - David Dettman; and Classified Staff - Dennis Nellis.

Founders Association President Jim Prast presented the awards at UW-Green Bay's fall convocation Wednesday, Aug. 25. The Founders Association, a philanthropic organization, instituted the awards program in 1975.

Gurung, who received the teaching award, is an associate professor of Human Development (Psychology). He joined the UW-Green Bay faculty in 1999. He was cited for his selection as a Wisconsin Teaching Fellow and service as chair of the Instructional Development Council.

Gurung was described by students and colleagues as the most effective, enthusiastic, inspirational and admired teacher.

"He has helped me adjust to college, listened to me, offered me advice, given me confidence and helped me to succeed," one freshman said.

Gurung provides personal mentoring and assists many students with opportunities for research that is presented at local, regional and national conferences.

Grosso, recipient of the award for scholarship, is a professor of Communication and the Arts (Music). She has been at UW-Green Bay since 1985. Her scholarship spans conducting, composing, performing and publishing.

Grosso is music director and conductor for a number of ensembles. She has created new works for the Contemporary Percussion Ensemble and the New Music Ensemble. The hand-drumming ensemble she leads has been chosen to represent the University in numerous venues.

Her books are at the forefront of the movement to understand ethnic music through performance. And one of her modern compositions was published by a leading publisher for noted American and European composers for percussion instruments.

Ortiz, who received the award for institutional development, is an associate professor of Humanistic Studies (Spanish). Since coming to UW-Green Bay in 1993, she has been a leader in building campus and community diversity.

"She is committed to positive institutional development and is an articulate spokesperson for increasing international programs and awareness across campus," a supporter said of Ortiz.

Ortiz has worked on relevant legislative issues, has worked for the Parent School Partnership Program and is responsible for developing the guiding document on the campus visa policy. She coordinated the first summer Spanish Immersion Language and Culture Camp for middle and high school students, advised the Spanish Club and is a First Year Experience Committee member and group leader.

She has worked with the Admissions office to offer presentations and promotional materials in Spanish connecting UW-Green Bay to the community.

Thornton, the community outreach award recipient, is director of Outreach and Extension. She joined UW-Green Bay in 1977 and has led the University's Outreach efforts since 1986.

Thornton's nominators said she has done a superb job of building bridges that reach out to the community and bring the community to UW-Green Bay. Her leadership leaves a positive impression for others not directly affiliated with the University.

Thornton leads a team that serves more than 7,800 state residents with 324 programs and services, generating more than $1.5 million in revenue.

Dettman, who received the academic support award, is instruction and reference librarian at the Cofrin Library. He has been with UW-Green Bay since 2000.

He was described as being "relentless and creative" in finding information students and faculty need.

"Although Dave is relatively new to UWGB, his record and the quality with which he does his work would be exemplary for a veteran employee," a nominator said.

Dettman has initiated collaborative programs with the offices of Residence Life and Career Services. He also has been an orientation group leader, has chaired the Library's public relations committee and was recently appointed to the Information Literacy Committee of the Wisconsin Association of Academic Librarians.

Nellis, the classified staff award recipient, is UW-Green Bay's stores supervisor. He joined the University in 1977.

He was praised for having a "can-do attitude and professionalism in everything he does." One faculty member said he is in outstanding example of how the University's employees should work in a collaborative manner.

Nellis has been a key person in development of a program for surplus computer equipment, arranging for sales with numerous elementary schools and public agencies. The program has generated nearly $250,000 in revenue that has helped fund workstation replacements for the entire campus.

Founders Association Awards for Excellence are chosen by a faculty and staff committee from responses to a call for nominations. The committee received more than 125 nominations this year.

Incoming UW System President Kevin Reilly to visit UW-Green Bay on Wednesday

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin System President-designate Kevin Reilly will visit the UW-Green Bay campus Wednesday (Aug. 25) to participate in two major University events.

In his first appearance in Green Bay since being named UW System president July 29, Reilly will help dedicate UW-Green Bay's renovated and expanded Laboratory Sciences Building. He then will deliver a keynote address at the University's annual faculty and staff Convocation.

The Laboratory Sciences dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony is at 8 a.m. on the outside plaza between the Laboratory Sciences and Environmental Sciences buildings. The faculty and staff Convocation is at 9:30 a.m. in the Phoenix Rooms of the University Union. Both events are open to the public.

Reilly, who officially begins his duties as the sixth UW System president next month, has served as UW-Extension chancellor for the past four years. Prior to that, he was UW-Extension vice chancellor and provost for four years.

He previously was associate provost for academic programs and secretary of the university at the State University of New York System.

Reilly will succeed Katharine Lyall as president of the UW System, one of the nation's foremost public university systems. The UW System, the eighth-largest university system in the United States, serves more than 160,000 students each year.

(Reilly will be available to the news media after the dedication of the Laboratory Sciences Building. He will be in Room 468 of the Laboratory Sciences Building.)

"New" Laboratory Sciences Building to be dedicated Wednesday at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will dedicate the renovated and expanded Laboratory Sciences Building in ceremonies open to the campus and community Wednesday, Aug. 25.

The $15 million project transformed the 35-year-old laboratory building into a showplace for science education in the 21st century. The facility features attractive instructional spaces and new technology for learning and research.

The dedication will take place at 8 a.m. on the outside plaza between the Laboratory Sciences and Environmental Sciences buildings on the UW-Green Bay campus. It will be followed by a continental breakfast and self-guided tours of the new and improved building.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard will be joined by UW System President-designate Kevin Reilly at the event, which will emphasize the teaching and research potential of the University’s laboratory sciences. Other speakers include student Zachary Brown, a senior from Green Bay who is majoring in chemistry; Angela Bauer-Dantoin, associate professor of human biology and women’s studies, and Scott Kramer of Plunkett Raysich Architects.

Professors Donna Ritch and John Lyon, who served as faculty representatives on the Laboratory Sciences Planning Committee, said the remodeled and expanded facility will prepare a new generation of leaders in the natural sciences and health professions.

“This is an investment in the science education of students coming here for the next 30 years,” said Lyon, who has served as chairperson of Chemistry for the past three years. “We have the facilities, equipment and instrumentation that will allow students to do the work that professionals in their areas are expected to do.”

Ritch, chairperson of Human Biology, said the upgrade will consolidate into one building science laboratories previously housed in three buildings. It will provide a better environment for learning and student collaboration, she said.

Research and teaching laboratories are designed around the concept of research communities in order to foster collaborative work. Faculty researchers will model scientific research by working alongside graduate and undergraduate students.

The renovated building will house teaching laboratories for biology, chemistry, earth science, ecology, food science, general science, physics, and soils and water science.

Remodeling of 80,000 square feet and a 24,000-square-foot addition essentially transformed Laboratory Sciences into a new building. With room for 24 students, each lab will be 50 percent larger than the old labs.

The facility will enable computer applications in the laboratories and provide a dedicated computer classroom. Other new technology will include a CamScan scanning electron microscope and a “Bod Pod” body composition analyzer.

Construction on the Laboratory Sciences renovation began in summer 2002. The original building, one of the first three on the UW-Green Bay campus, opened for classes in fall 1969.

UW-Green Bay residence hall to be named for former residence life director

GREEN BAY - A new residence hall at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will be named for Tom Haevers, longtime residence life and housing director at UW-Green Bay.

Tom Haevers Hall, the last of three new residence halls to open in consecutive years at UW-Green Bay, will be dedicated Wednesday, Sept. 8. It will be an on-campus home primarily for juniors and seniors. Residents will move in Wednesday, Sept. 1.

Haevers, a Green Bay native, will be recognized for his dedicated service to UW-Green Bay and its students. His leadership helped develop quality, affordable on-campus housing and an active student community.

Haevers joined UW-Green Bay as director of housing in 1980 just as the University was buying its first student housing — a privately developed apartment complex adjacent to the campus. By the time he retired in 2001, the University's housing "village" had developed into a park-like setting with 24 buildings and room to accommodate 1,550 students.

Living on campus plays an important role in developing students and keeping them in school.

Haevers also built an active residence life program, supervised staff growth and promoted technological improvements in all residence halls and apartments. His work earned him the UW-Green Bay Founders Association Award for Excellence in Academic Support in 2000.

Haevers said he is proud to be among the people who have had residence halls at UW-Green Bay named in their honor.

"Somehow I'm getting this honor, but many other people have to fit into the equation," he said. "Those buildings are a tribute to the foresight of a lot of people."

Haevers lives in Green Bay with his wife, Judith. He has been active in numerous community organizations, including the Ecumenical Center at UW-Green Bay, the Green Bay Power Squadron and the Mediation Center of Greater Green Bay.

Tom Haevers Hall will be the third of three 122-bed residence halls to open at UW-Green Bay between the fall of 2002 and the fall of 2004. Ed Thompson Hall opened in the fall of 2002, and Richard J. Liebl Hall opened in the fall of 2003. The buildings feature "suite-style" apartments with private bedrooms and shared kitchens and bathrooms. Suites house up to four students.

The residence halls have been built on the northeast part of the UW-Green Bay campus to address a waiting list of hundreds of students for on-campus housing. Construction was made possible by city- and county-approved bonding through University Village Housing, Inc., a private, nonprofit corporation.

Tom Haevers Hall will bring the total on-campus housing capacity to nearly 2,000 residents.
